[Mapserver-users] Storing database connections in a CGI session

[Richard Holzmeier]

Currently i am testing MapServers load performance against ArcIMS using SDE
and OracleSpatial database connections. ArcIMS displaces MapServer with a
performance rate up to 7:1, certainly due to the overhead of creating a new
session with every request. I´m thinking about using CGI sessions to store
opened database sessions for a while using a library such as CGI::SESSION
(http://search.cpan.org/~sherzodr/). Unfortunately i´m fairly new with C/C++
and Perl and have no idea of the complexity or possibility to implement
this. 

If anybody has, i will appreciate responses of any kind. Thanks in advance,
Richard
