Hi all,
I'm being asked about the possibility of creating an extension that will
cache some data from a MySQL DB in-memory. I've been reading various
online resources regarding building extensions and cannot find an answer
to the following question... Is there a way to create a hashtable in the
extension which will be available to all of the Apache children without
resorting to shared memory?
It's important that only one instance of the data exists for two
reasons... 1) It's a fairly large amount of data and 2) it will change
as the application runs. I've created a small test extension using
MODULE_GLOBALS the results of which suggest that these variables are per
process. I'm just looking for some confirmation that shared memory is
the way to go before I jump down that particular black hole.
TIA.
