[Slashcode-development] Table mapping catch 22

[Jason R. <ja...@ar...>]

I am nearly done with the module that allows table-mapping.  It seems
to work correctly with one small problem:  When apache starts, the
module attempts to connect to mysql to initialize it's mapping of
table names.  I am using the getCurrentDB call to get this done.
Unfortunately, it runs into some problems because it is so early in
the execution.  I don't know very much about how all of the Apache
stuff and other modules interact at startup, so any help is
appreciated...  Plenty of error messages fly by on startup because the
tablemap doesn't get initialized, but everything settles down and
works after that.  I'll get a patch together against the last release
(I'm working with a pretty old version) and submit it for everyone's
input.

P.S. In case I wasn't clear, table-mapping is the term I'm using to
say that tables are cached into a hash, with their current (standard)
names as the key, and their true location/name as the value.  The module
exports a table-lookup function that returns true location/name.
It'll be useless to many people, but VERY nice for others.
