Hi, I think I'm missing something simple. I may be getting bit by threads. The system I'm building is a database backed web application. Nothing particularly complex.
I open a connection to the database using tdbc - this creates a new command that I put in the global scope as '::db1'. A few minutes later, I hit a web page, and the command is gone. It's simple enough to re-create it, but I'm getting bored with adding the 'is it still here' check to my code. Is there a way to open a persistent link? Or am I getting caught by a new thread being assigned to a session and the new thread has never heard of any ::db1 command. Maybe I should drop the tdbc idea and move to dio... My primary reason for using tdbc is that I'm not convinced that we won't be switching backends before we get out of prototype mode and tdbc seemed like the simplest way to be server-neutral.
