No transactions - its mainly selects but I will add in Racke's suggestion of finish and see what that does.<br>
<br>
As for Starman - so far not had any issues - but we have set it to limit the max requests so that it gets cleaned every so often. I do want to try out uwsgi - have read very good things - thx for the heads up<br>
