Deprecated - Database compatibility

I recently red the following comment (by chx) about Drupal not supporting persistent connections: http://drupal.org/node/49836#comment-254512

As database.pgsql.inc states the following, I've always thought that they were actually supported (at least to some extent):

/**
 * Initialize a database connection.
 *
 * Note that you can change the pg_connect() call to pg_pconnect() if you
 * want to use persistent connections. This is not recommended on shared hosts,
 * and might require additional database/webserver tuning. It can increase
 * performance, however, when the overhead to connect to your database is high
 * (e.g. your database and web server live on different machines).
 */

So, as I've most of the time ran the the database in different machine, I've been using pg_pconnect(). Only after I had red the said comment I realised that this is probably the reason I've been getting “table already exists” errors with code using temporary tables (e.g. search).

Now I'm considering filing a bug report to get that comment removed, or to get it patched with a statement that warns that persistent connections are not actually supported. Because right now it gives admins a quite confusing message that using persistent connetions is indeed at least partially supported.

Hi,

When i opened my site i saw these errors and i don't know what to understand from this. Could someone let me know what is the issue here. The site is used to work fine lately and this is the first time i'm seeing these errors. When i refresh the page the errors are gone. I think it should be something from Hosting server because i see the home directory of the site. Please let me know.
