Thanks Bob,

What I'm doing now is this:

1) I get my "main" connection using sqlpassthru

2) I override the existing connection (let's call it "db_conn") on the database container this time "recreating" it with the connection string from "main" connection.

3)I open a remote view so I can get a connection handle value for "db_conn".

Now I have 2 connections. I disconnect the "main" connection and just copy the connection handle created from "db_conn" to the main connection and I'm set, just have one connection.
