texte = Larry - From what I understand, the variable name needs to be unique within the page, unless you do a [sqldisconnect] to free up that variable for reuse in a new connection. WebDNA automatically does the disconnect when the page ends. I don't know if it would cause problems to use the same variable name in multiple pages being executed at the same time in different threads. You could use a variable named "c[cart]" or something similar to ensure uniqueness. - Brian On Sep 15, 2004, at 8:55 AM, Larry Hewitt wrote: > In the WebDNA documentation, the SQLConnect connection variable is set > as a text value; ex: conn_var=conn1 > > Does this have to be unique; is it better to assign a variable name > going in (see beloe) so that conenctins have different values.
