Persistent connections with Oracle 8i

[Anon]

Hi,

I have problems with ociPlogon() using windows.
The problem is that every time ociPlogon is called it doesn't call the previously created session, but creates a new session.
Obviously this is problematic as it defeats the point of persistent connections and causes my Oracle Db to freeze once the max no. of sessions is reached. My question is, if I use ociPlogon as the first call to the Db, and the ociLogon as the proceeding calls, will it work as it should? Otherwise how can I sort this problem?

Kind regards,

Kelvin

Forget pconnect, use normal connect.

The ONLY benefit of using pconnect is that it saves a little time on create the database connection.

Apart from that, there are NO benefits at all.
pconnect definately does NOT let you open a connection, use it in a script, then run another script and expect toget the same connection (for example to use for transactions)
