Re: Same mysql link when calling mysql_connect a second time with same arguments

It should be completely transparent (well, provided you're not using the new in-CVS feature of unbuffered queries). With no drawbacks, and a fair advantage, it's a better way to go than establish a new link. The current implementation suffers from a limitation, in which closing one of the links will invalidate all of the handles that point to that link. It's a bug, though, and I intend to fix it for 4.0.6. Zeev At 15:32 13/4/2001, Markus Fischer wrote:

        I just wanted to add that this behaviour may apply to

other databases, I dont know, but I verified it with current oracle implementation and it does not behave the same as mysql does. A new link identifier is created with every call to OCILogon wether the arguments are the same or not. The oci8 extension does not use a cache of established links which is the right thing IMHO. Or, yes you could definitly add caching established links here too (if its programmatically possible ...) but should have the option whether to do so or not. someone sharing my ideas ? ty,
