Re: Weird processes

What you're looking for is SQLRelay. You will need to work a little bit
around the DBI driver to get the cached connections, but since the
driver uses its native interface, this is possible (or you can scrap
DBI altogether- not recommended). Get it here:
http://taonix.org/
because firstworks.com has been down for months.
It's works great. The other probably better option (though not always
possible to use) would be mod_perl and Apache::DBI connection pooling.
This would be the easiest solution because it would require
minimal-to-none code changes.
While it would be possible to collect db handles in shared memory, it
would still require a persistently running daemon- SQLRelay does
essentially that, only it has more features. Apache::DBI caches the
handles in Apache space and hands you the handle that has exactly the
same connection parameters and is more configurable as a connection
pooler.
Good luck.
