If I structure the program to exist in a single file, make my db connections from there, does this imply that I could have 'multiple' connections made to the data base? I am using the worker mode of apache on linux. This means that I do have multiple child apaches and threads in each. So, I'm not sure if I have 5 children and 2 thread per child that would imply 10 connections to the data base? > > Second, be very careful about putting database connection objects in > modules which are candidates for reloading.

I'm still thinking in terms of the cgi model where the script runs, connection made to db, data is updated, connection closed, script dies, done. Under what conditions would a module be reloaded? And if I use the handler mode (no publisher or psp) and the data base connection is made in the handler function, does that imply the connection is made when apache is started (and the script is run for the first time) and lives untill apache dies? > > http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-apmeth.html > > I'll let others argue the merits of database connection pooling versus > a connection per request as not an area I have direct experience with. As they say, I'm against premature optimization -- I don't know enough to care at this point. I just want to run in 'safest way', that means the most predictable. > > Graham > > On 13/06/07, David Bear <David.Bear at asu.edu> wrote: > >I don't want to start a flame ware here, but I'm starting to develop > >and application that will connect to a postgresql server. > > > >I realize there are probably a dozen things I should know about > >modpython before I begin. > > > >I will be use the standard python handler.
