Re: DB resource as Session var

Not possible, for many reasons. Not the least of which is that db servers, like any server, only have a limited number of connections. Can you imagine the havoc that multiple, session-wide, open connections would do to a db server - even under light load? Oh ya, plus it's absolutely impossible to persist any type of resource from one request to the next.
