Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Sharing sessions. Keeping cursors open.
Hello,
Jeff and Cary (Hotsos) mention these in their document on Scaling Applications to Massive Concurrent Users. A real eye opener for me.
I've convinced myself that I have to have some type of application server between the Web and the database to make session sharing work: yes? There is no way to create a "session" in the database that maintains state data and to which external processes (Apache) can connect? (Is this a coherent question?)
The next notion, not closing cursors, is even more intriguing. So I pull out the PL/SQL book and discover it is dated 1992 (now I'm feeling really old). So I pull out the 8i documentation CD and can't find anything about not closing a cursor. When the data is all fetched, the data is all fetched.
Clearly, I am not understanding. Would some kind soul point me in the right direction?
BTW, still in production on Oracle 7.3.4.
TIA.
