Re: Connection Pooling...(Repost)...please do help..

Thanks Joel,

Yes there is. But it only keeps your unused connections on for a given
amount of time, so as to avoid opening new connections when you open a
connection again within the stipulated time.

In our case, we keep the connection open till the application has any
forms open. Problem in this case is that multiple users from different
workstations are opening connections on the PG server on RH 6.2.

What we want to do is start closing connections from applications
after query and somehow pool the connections on the Linux server.

Would like comments on this strategy and a how-to on this....help?
anyone?

With best regards.

Sanjay.
