You'd have to write some kind of pooling solution to get that kind of behaviour. I don't know of anyone working on pooling in PHP.Thought PHP5 does RESET ALL, that doesn't affect prepared queries, only SET variables.
I vote for a new command: RESET SESSION;Basically, we make that connection reset everythign - SET variables, open cursors, etc. I don't think we want to clobber prepared queries...i dunno.
And we can add stuff to it without needing pool managers to change how they do things.
