Hmm--I've never had any problems with passing the database connection handle from pg_connect into pg_exec (the only place you can really use it, as far as I know). On the other hand, I did have some problems with a multi-virtualhosted system where persistent connections were being passed back and forth between two different hosts with different databases, which confused some of the transaction-handling bits. (of course, I'm still not sure how much of a benefit there is with persistant connections if you db is local [like most people's are], but that's one to argue about somewhere else). -- Adam Haberlach | Who buys an eight-processor machine and then adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | watches 30 movies on it all at the same time? http://newsnipple.com | Beats me.
