What effect do the following have, in relation to persistent database connections opened: 1) Limiting the number of servers apache starts in the httpd.conf file (let's say we set it to 2) 2) Limiting the odbc_max_persistent in the php.ini file (let's say, again, 2) I have a client that has a Progress DB on a WinNT server, while his site is hosted in FreeBSD 4.3. He has software so he can open 2 ODBC connections at a time. This is an e-comm site, so I highly doubt 2 connections is enough, but I'm not familiar enough with how persistent connections work. I read up on them at the php.net site, and it helped a bit, but not completely. Say we leave apache at StartServers = 10, but limit the odbc_max_persistent connections to '2'. Will the site barf if those two connections are opened and someone makes a request off the 3rd server. From what I understand, it should re-use on of the open connections. If that connection is in use, will PHP/Apache wait for the connection to open, then use it, or will it just come back and say it can't connect? I did ask this question to the PHP list and didn't get any real response. That means it went over some heads (doubt) or it's a really aweful question. Can someone please help me out?
