Re: [HACKERS] Re: PHPBuilder article -- Postgres vs MySQL

Just a note, I've been using Postgres 7.02 and PHP 4.02 or 4.03 for about a
month in a couple sites, and haven't experienced any problems with
persistent connections.  Problem might have been fixed in one of the point
releases, or maybe I just don't have enough different db connections to
trigger it.
