I have a number of places in my app where I am using Koolreport. For example I am using it in the dashboard and I am also using it in my report generation tool. Additionally I am using it to build surveys.

Rather than open the database 3 times, I'd like to open it once when the program initializes and for each report to use that same handle. Right now each report is like a standalone example. My application, uses Codeigniter and thus opens the same database for its own use. Can I just open the database once in my constructor and share the file handle? Have you done this?
