From: Jonathan A. Zdziarski Date: March 30 1999 3:26pm Subject: Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/1188 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I'm having a little bit of trouble with this error and forking. I believe my code is accurate, but I may be missing something. Here's how the code works... 1. Parent ID makes a connection, and queries for information, then disconnects 2. Based on that information, the parent spawns off into 5-20 child processes which then make their OWN connections then disconnect yet I'm getting the error 'Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect' at the point where each child does a connect. I'm using a lexical $DBH variable (perl obviously) i don't believe it would be shared by all the processes, as it comes after the fork. If anyone would like to take a look at the source please let me know. Thank you, Jonathan A. Zdziarski Sr. Systems Administrator Netrail, inc. 888.NET.RAIL x240
