It's MySQL, but using the latest DA - I'm pretty sure I'm doing more than one query at a time as I set off a ZSQL query that takes 9 seconds from the MySQL command line, and then started to use aspects of the site that I *know* use MySQL lookups. BTW, the 9 second SQL query isn't used in the site! :)

Oh one more thing, I'm pretty certain that the MySQL DA serializes ALL requests because the MySQL library for python is not thread-safe.

Not Andy Dustmans MySQL DA. CodeCatalog.com is ver very fast, and it uses Andy's MySQL DA. Python wrote his own python libraries, specifically to make MySQL access thread safe.

It's Andys' MySQL DA I'm using, and it appears to be allowing me to make thread safe accesses to MySQL, tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2
