As a followup, it would be useful if the db code could be made mulitple connection friendly.
This would require
1) an option to connect to mysql on a separate connection
2) all mysql calls altered to use the link id for that connection

this will prevent the db code from conflicting with a separate connection elsewhere that connects, for example, to separate db.

Kevin,
Do you want to contribute this yourself to the sourceforge repository?

Short version yes...
Longer version
Number 1 is a pretty trivial fix. Looks like you just need to change the class name and the 3 places the class is created. I've done it in my local version, and it works, but I'm not familiar enough with the code base yet to be entirely comfortable in my choice of class name.

Number2 I haven't done, but I'd be willing to do it when I get a free moment. Which, given my life at the moment, probably will have to wait a couple of weeks.
