Hi, Maybe this is a DBI question rather than MySQL, but here goes...
I have a perl script which forks in order to work around a memory leak in XML::Parser. The child parses the data and the parent reads the results back from the child to populate some temporary tables in the database. What seems to happen is that when the child exits, the DBI connection to the database is lost and automatically reconnected (how?). Obviously this blows away my temporary tables. Does anyone know how to avoid this ? I've tried "$SIG{CHLD}='IGNORE';" with no effect. My current work around is to read all the data into the parent and then do the DB work, but is there a better way ? regards, Martin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
