Hello,

Jeff and Cary (Hotsos) mention these in their document on Scaling 
Applications to Massive Concurrent Users.
A real eye opener for me.


I've convinced myself that I have to have some type of application server 
between the Web and the database to make session sharing work: yes? There 
is no way to create a "session" in the database that maintains state data 
and to which external processes (Apache) can connect? (Is this a coherent 
question?)

The next notion, not closing cursors, is even more intriguing. So I pull 
out the PL/SQL book and discover it is dated 1992 (now I'm feeling really 
old). So I pull out the 8i documentation CD and can't find anything about 
not closing a cursor. When the data is all fetched, the data is all fetched.

Clearly, I am not understanding. Would some kind soul point me in the right 
direction?

BTW, still in production on Oracle 7.3.4.

TIA.
