Reasons for persistent db connection through mysql_pconnect

Hello Webassist. I'm using several of your DW Extensions, including Dataassist for dabase driven websites. However on a new project the webhost doesn't work very well with the mysql_pconnect command. As the number of connections are limited they suggest me to use mysql_connect and to close the connection with mysql_close at end of each script. Why have you choosen to use persistent connections and what can I do to make mysql_connect be the default connection type instead? Thank You for help, I'm no Apache or MySQL expert thats why I just want your extensions to work. Now I'm getting "HTTP 500 - Internal server error" all the time... :confused:

Regards Joa
