Re: Persistent connections

>Question: What's the difference between persistent connections to the >database and normal open/close sequences in terms of speed and security? Completely dependent on the database as far as speed goes. On some database servers opening connections is painfully slow and they'll see little benefit. On others (e.g. MySQL), there's not going to be much of a noticeable difference. Since persistent connections are based on the database host, username and password, there shouldn't be any security implications.
