I am asking because the documentation in ConnectionPool states that "The basic idea is that each thread checks out a database connection from the pool, uses that connection, and checks the connection back in." I would like to check out a connection in a before_filter, and check it back in in an after_filter of a request, because I need to be sure to use the same connection for the whole lifecycle of the request (I need to set a session variable that is read by some views that use it as prameter). Can someone who knows confirm? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
