Forum OpenACS Development: Re: nstcl vs. OpenACS db_* api

Ah, interesting, thanks for filling us in, Michael!

Hm, so the current workings of nstcl depend on the fact that all the drivers nstcl currently supports do not share AOLserver's "each thread must allocate all handles from a single pool at one time" limitation? So if down the road nstcl decided to support db drivers based on the AOLserver C code, you'd want to add in something like the db_nth_pool_name type stuff that OpenACS has?

On eventually adding the -dbn switch to nstcl, cool! I've yet to receive much of any feedback on it good or bad, but presumably others will gradually start using it. :)

Also, for the OpenACS db_* API, the -dbn switch definitely was the right way to go, but I don't see any harm in also adding your nstcl style "use this pool and no other" syntax, if people ask for it.
