AcrossLocks

Open a connection to all of your database tables, even when it is not necessary to do so.

Synopsis

This is a Yes or No directive.  The default is No.

Scope

This directive is only available for use in the global (interchange.cfg) configuration file, and will affect all websites running under the Interchange installation.  It will not work in a website's local (catalog.cfg) configuration file. 

Description

All configured tables are opened every time an Interchange page is visited and starts processing.  Opening a new database connection takes time, so Interchange provides fast dummy pointer to each table.  These dummy pointers are only overridden with a real connection when a table is actually used within the page.

Warning Enabling this directive has the effect of disabling Interchange's "fast dummy pointer" facility, which will have a drastic negative effect upon your website's performance.
