Re: [PHP3] db connections, session state From: Chad Cunningham (ccunning <email protected>)

Well, knowing how microsoft works, I'm sure they would be glad to extend
your liscence to add more connections for only a nomial fee :)

I guess this all depends on how they word the connection liscence. Or do
they actually limit you to 25 connections? I'm sure they've set it up so
that you can't do anything useful without giving them more money. I mean,
with NT Workstation, you're limited to 4 similtaneous connections for all
internet services combined. MSSQL is probably going to create another
performance bottleneck as well since you'll have to connect through ODBC
connections, which I hear are a good bit slower than a native database
connection.
