Hi Thanks for your quick response. In our test environment running MySQL 5.1.31 over SSL (hosted external of our network) and IIS 6 on Windows 2003 Server, I've found when opening a test connection to the database from my PC and one from my colleagues PC on the same internal network, we both had the same connectionID ? Is this right ?
The reason I need to know about the CONNECTION_ID() is because we have a issue on our website whereby not all database connections are correctly closed. As commented on in this URL http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12274 Can anyone offer any advice regarding this ?
