Re: Number of connections

A related mail I tried to post on the list yesterday but that I got
back....

when inserting a record in a PHP script, I sometimes use the currval
function on the corresponding sequence to get the id of the row
inserted.

Maybe a stupid question, but I wondered if when using persisten
connection, I could be sure there would be no problem. From the doc,
currval "Returns the value most recently obtained by nextval for this
sequence in the current server process."

Can you confirm me several script using the same persistent connection
in parallel are in separate server processes?

Thanks.
