Hi!

I have 2 CGI scripts. Each script makes some queries to PostgreSQL and
returns html code as a result .
Simple example:
1-st CGI returns: "Hello, Anny!" (Anny is choosen from DataBase)
2-nd CGI returns: "There is 3 messages for you!" (nu,ber of messages
is choosen from Database)
Scripts can run separately each from other.

Suppose, that I want to call 2-nd script from the first via HTTP or
fork+execv+pipe.
I receive: "Hello, Anny! There is 3 messages for you!"

All OK, but I have two separated queries and two Backends started.
It's not good, because I don't need any concurrency :(

How can I optimize such situation?
I see:
1. Share Database conection among two scripts. Can I do it?
2. Write "proxy" daemon to execute queries. Is it possible?
3. Use Application Servers and so either (can't use them and any other
transaction mechanizm)
