Amir, I am forarding this to the Zope mailing list (zope@zope.org) as I personally don't know the answer to your question, but there's a heck of a lot more folks on the list than in the office. Thanks! Amir Bakhtiar wrote:

First of all, thanks for your hard work in DCOracle.

We are running your software on Redhat 6.1 and Oracle 8i.

I have noticed that each python process that imports ocidb grows form around 3-4M to around 18 megabytes (according to top). I was hoping that the library could be shared and that not every process that needs oracle access would take up 18M. This obviously creates some scaling problems.

Is there some way of getting many python processes to share one instance of the Oracle library?

TIA, -A-
