its absolutely necessary on a scaled/clustered internet app, and gives you additional security control by letting you use multiple users w/specific table permissions to read and write
i always code my projects to use at least 4 database handles - log db, config read db, read db, single write db. sometimes i use more if i want to isolate tables or views from certain users this way if anything needs to scale to a clustered environment, there's no additional work to do I just call set__use_db_writer() on a class to replace the read db with a connection to the write. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
