NAME

Apache::Sybase::CTlib2 - Perl extension for creating persistant database connections to sybase using Apache and Sybperl.

SYNOPSIS

use Apache::Sybase::CTlib2;

Apache::Sybase::CTlib2->connect_on_init("user", "password", "server", "db");

DESCRIPTION

This module allows Apache/Modperl/Sybperl users to connect to sybase data servers, and maintain persistant connections. The advantage should be clear, as this avoids the overhead of creating a connection, gathering data, and then destroying the connection with every query.

Place the above commands in your startup file for apache:

In httpd.conf

PerlRequire /apache/startup.pl

In /apache/startup.pl

use Apache::Sybase::CTlib2;

Apache::Sybase::CTlib2->connect_on_init("user", "password", "server", "db");

Passing db (database name) to the module will allow you to specify a database to start in (the module will execute "use database" after the connection is established). This is an optional parameter.
