This could be easily solved, if the MySQL module would not be affected by a bad design decision which has been made for many other modules as well. The MySQL module only stores the database handle in the list. This is convenient for most functions; the ugly side of it is that you loose all meta information associated with the database connection. If this information (host, username, password) would be stored in the list as well, the required information to update the persistent list (in this case) would be readily available. As a workaround, a new hash table should be added which maps connection handles to meta information, so that meta information can be easily looked up. This increases the overhead of maintaining connections, but is the prerequisite for performing the action Rasmus described. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
