As a point of reference, that article is now well out of date.  What it 
describes is now further developed than when I wrote it, and is
available in mod_dbd (which supersedes the code associated with
that article).

As regards the question, I don't understand the problem.  That could
be 'cos it's 02:16 here and I've been struggling with another problem.
You can use apr_reslist_acquire anywhere in your module.  Note that
in the case of a database it would be inefficient to keep on acquiring
new connections, which is one reason it may be preferable to use
ap_dbd_acquire.
