Of cause I can return a handle from first function, pointer and accept that pointer in second function, but in this case I have to check
that pointer on validity and so on...
Is there any good practice ( some way to do so ) for that?
Best way I've come up with to do this is by using a hash table based on a name lookup. See the way it's done in dblink now (as of a week or so ago) for named persistent connections.
HTH,
Joe
