Sybase::DBlib and database connection

amj has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

If I do the following...

$dbproc = Sybase::DBlib->dblogin( $usr, $pwd, $svr);
$dbproc = Sybase::DBlib->dblogin( $usr, $pwd, $svr);
[download]

What happens to the first connection to the database? Is it still active? Or is it closed by the second login? Or is it something else?

Any help/comments are much appreciated. Thanks,
amj

I am not familiar with Sybase, but you might find your answer in one of the following: Open Client DB-Library/C Reference Manual Re: checking whether DBI connection made Of course, you could always TIAS (Try It And See)... ;-) HTH, planetscape	[reply]

The first connection should get closed because the DESTROY method for Sybase::DBlib should get called when the $dbproc variable gets overwritten. Michael	[reply]
