Forking a process

Hi,

When i am forking a process to run a piece of code into independent process, I usually get the mysql connection error. Does for each of the forked process i need to establish a new mysql connection.?

Can any one suggest me on this?

That is one of the things you have to be careful about when using fork, you may end up sharing stuff with the parent process that you didn't want to share. You can use ActiveRecord::Base.clear_all_connections! to close existing connections
