It will never close databases unless it runs out of RAM... or until you tell it to close the database.The point I was trying to make is that no matter how many databasesyou make available to WebCat, it is smart enough to close the onesnot being used in order to open new ones. But if you have enough RAMto keep all your databases open, WebCat doesn't *have* to close them,so they will all stay open until WebCat gets a [closedatabase]command or a [flushdatabases] command directly.>As I remember webcat used to watch the modify date and reload when the>modification date changed, whatever happened to that feature if it ever>existed?That's for caching templates, not for databases. WebCat's smarttemplate caching always loads the newest template into its templateRAM cache, even when there's an older one already in thereSincerely, Ken GromeWebDNA Solutions808-737-6499http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
