Re: Sharing a database handle over multiple processes

The word I got from my local expert is that database handles do not survive a fork. So you will need to make a new connection in each new process.

Is this consistent with what others have heard/experienced.?

Apache::DBI states that it creates all its DBI handles after the fork, since DBI handles would overwrite important info since SQL stuff through DBI is keyed off the handle... such as LAST_INSERT_ID and transactions, etc... so I agree with you wholeheartedly - Ant	[reply]
