Re: [PHP-DB] connect vs pconnect
Based on my understanding of pconnect, it is a poor man's implementation of connection pooling. Connection pooling requires a mediator server between the client and database in order to maintain a connection for reuse by another client. PHP does not provide such a server, so it uses the web server as the mediator. When you call pconnect, the connection resource will be retained within the web server's process space. Thus, the connection will live as long as the web server lives. -- bob On Thu, 8 Dec 2005, Benjamin Adams wrote: > I'm trying to figure out if running mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect > would be faster. > Can someone explain the difference? > Picking one for a very high traffic website with a 10 G database. > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] connect vs pconnect
Read the comments following the formal description at http://www.php.ca/mysql_pconnect They're pretty illuminating, and probably resulted from hard-earned experience.

[PHP-DB] connect vs pconnect
I'm trying to figure out if running mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect would be faster. Can someone explain the difference? Picking one for a very high traffic website with a 10 G database. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
