I am trying to set up a persistent connection to a handful of postgres dbs
at startup using Apache::DBI (also using mod_perl)
Here is what I am doing but I am not sure how to check if it's working
right.
in httpd.conf I have
PerlRequire startup.pl
in startup.pl I load all the necessary perl modules and also include the
lines
use Apache::DBI;
Apache::DBI->connect_on_init( host, login, password);
This doesnt seem to make any difference. I was expecting to see database
connections when I restarted apache and that all queries would get handled
by these connections. Is this a wrong assumption? What is the expectation
and what would be a good test when setting up persistent connections to a
postgres db?
Thanks much
Salem
