Hi,

The patch is now attached to this bug issue (I like Mantis, we use it
too... :)).

Wow, Edward, I'm impressed! I didn't know you were also doing game
programming! :) What part do you do in it?

Would it be possible to have a hook at the start of apache to do DB
maintenance? To me, that would be the best way: you'd check it once, and
possibly send errors to the log files of Apache if there is the need to
do it. Then no need to do extra checks at run time.

DBD has so many meanings, here is only the one related to our subjects:

Dabase Description
Database Design
base Dictionary (file extension)
Day-By-Day
Design Basis Document

Can you explain more?

I'm sure I'm not the only one having the problem, I'll see if I can find
someone or some project that address it.
