[Sqlrelay-discussion] Solaris 10 x86 and multiple databases support

[NetComrade <net...@bo...>]

We are thinking of using sqlrelay in between our php enabled apaches and
our multiple databases to minimize the # of connections between apaches
and databases.

Quesions:
1) Can sqlrelay easily maintain multiple connections in various
#'s? (e.g. 10 to db1, 12 to db2, 8 to db3, 11 to db11, etc), by a database
here i mean a schema or username in the Oracle world.
From these lines, it would seem so:

The client will send a user and password to the sqlr-listener and
sqlr-connection daemons when it connects to them. The authtier attribute
indicates which daemon will actually pay attention to that user and
password.

2) Can the tool be easily ported to Solaris x86? We are currently porting
our application server from Solaris Sparc to Solaris x86, and it'll not
run on Linux (uses lots of old libraries I am told). We are developing
some of our newer products with php, and would like to be able to limit
the # of persistent connections into the db. If this has been done, let me
know, if it hasn't been done but should be possible, we'll be happy to
share the steps we had to take with the community.

Thanks!
