Name

InactiveDestroy ( boolean)

Synopsis

This attribute can be used to disable the database engine related effect of destroying a handle (which would normally close a prepared statement or disconnect from the database, etc.).

For a database handle, this attribute does not disable an explicit call to the disconnect method, only the implicit call from DESTROY.

This attribute is specifically designed for use in Unix applications that “fork” child processes. Either the parent or the child process, but not both, should set InactiveDestroy on all their shared handles.
