you are talking about the extensions reusing connections to the same host? i am talking about reusing the entire instance.

$DB_DataObject->getDatabaseConnection(); to get the connection object anyway.

ok, that would work if the direct usuage is a secondary option and not the primary (and db_do the secondary).

It would not be do difficult to add, something like this: function setDatabaseConnection(&$con) { // check if $con is really a connection?! $GLOBALS['_DB_DATAOBJECT']['CONNECTIONS'][md5($con->dsn)] = &$con; }

that would work .. well in MDB2 you would have to use the getDSN() method since the dsn property does not include the database name. regards, Lukas
