Is it not possible to use a persistant connection and open and close multiple queries on that conenction? Not that I am thinking of cheaping out on Oracle, but I think it would be interesting to see how it went. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeroen ten Berge <j.ten.berge@getexo.nl> To: Tyson Lloyd Thwaites <tysonlt@webmedia.com.au> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2000 11:50 AM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Data banks comparisons > Is DB2 free for comercial use ?
