Thank you for the quick response Stuart...one more doubt..at http://php.net/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php they states ========= This means that when the same client makes a second request to the server, it may be served by a different child process than the first time. When opening a persistent connection, every following page requesting SQL services can reuse the same established connection to the SQL server ========= Is the persistent connection pool is re-used between apache child processes ?
