In any case, it's good to use some sort of connection = pooling so that db connections can be re-used. You can write your own or = find one on the internet. -Steve Stephen A.

What is a sample configuration? Do I need middle=20 layers of software/drivers to interact between the two? Thank you to anyone who can shed a little light on the overall setup?
