Re: persistent vs. non-persistent

Brent,

given, that you keep the connection open indefinitely, how do you use it?

Do I go and $db = pg_pconnect(...); when I first start apache and then never
do a connect again, unless I re-start apache? How would I query if a
connection already exists?

Best regards,
Chris
