[Doubt]What does it do?

[rschirin]

Can someone explain me what this code does exactly?

Code: Select all

use Apache::DBI;
Apache::DBI->connect_on_init('DBI:mysql:otrs', 'otrs', 'psw');
use DBI ();

what is apache::dbi?

and this?

Code: Select all

# enable this if you use mysql
#use DBD::mysql ();
#use Kernel::System::DB::mysql;

Hi,

the first code is not 3.1 (it is from older versions)

It loaded the Apache Database Interface for faster persitent connections. It is not needed in 3.1 any more!


The seconed part loads the MySQL Database driver in the memory of the webserver to make it faster.

Both options will only be used if mod_perl is configured
