| Description: | Manages SQL database connections |
|---|---|
| Status: | Extension |
| Module Identifier: | dbd_module |
| Source File: | mod_dbd.c |
| Compatibility: | Version 2.1 and later |
mod_dbd manages SQL database connections using
APR. It provides database connections on request
to modules requiring SQL database functions, and takes care of
managing databases with optimal efficiency and scalability
for both threaded and non-threaded MPMs. For details, see the
APR website and this overview of the
Apache DBD Framework
by its original developer.
This module manages database connections, in a manner
optimised for the platform. On non-threaded platforms,
it provides a persistent connection in the manner of
classic LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Perl/PHP/Python).
On threaded platform, it provides an altogether more
scalable and efficient connection pool, as
described in this
article at ApacheTutor. Note that mod_dbd
supersedes the modules presented in that article.
