Hi,

I have to use an oracle/sybase driver into a C program.
It's a little serveur which wait incoming connection then fork each client
and create a db connection.

classic...
But now, I must develop under Linux AND Windows, and -of course- win32
doesn't support fork()

So, Thread seems to be a cool solution...
but -it was to easy :)- the version of sybase (and Oracle too I think) isn't
thread-safe.

So I was thinking...

In my thread function, If I load dynamically all the .so to instance them...
eg:

// each thread for each client
fct_threaded(void *...)
{
  hdl = dlopen( db_sybora.so... );
  ptr1 = dlsym(hdl, ....);
  ptr2 = dlsym(hdl, ...);

  //
  ptr1(...)
  etc...

}

Do you think it's a good solution ?
Better idea ?

thanx guys...
