had to take responsibility for managing it themselves. Apart
from reinventing the wheel, this can be very inefficient, for
example when several modules each maintain their own connections.</p>

<p>Apache 2.1 and later provides the <code>ap_dbd</code> API for
managing database connections (including optimised strategies
for threaded and unthreaded MPMs), while APR 1.2 and later provides
the <code>apr_dbd</code> API for interacting with the database.</p>

<p>New modules SHOULD now use these APIs for all SQL database
operations. Existing applications SHOULD be upgraded to use it
where feasible, either transparently or as a recommended option
