Re: Connection Pooling, a year later

Does schema support will resolve this discussion ?
If I understand correctly, initial arguments for connection pooling
was restriction in number of persistent connections. it's right in
current postgresql that if one wants keep connection for performance
reason to several databases the total number of connections will
doubled, trippled and so on. But if I understand schema support will
eventually put away these problem because we could keep only one
pool of connections to the *one* database.
