Thread: Can i switch to the use of persistent connections with my already in use application without worrying ?

Hi,

i have an already running web application with a lot of users. All the connections to the postgresql database are not persistent. I was wondering if it is possible to switch to persistent connection without having problems in my current in production application in order to boost performance ?

thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Najib.

You don't mention how your web is constructed, but just about every
runtime platform has some kind of connection pooling.  For example, if
you are using Tomcat, then that has connection pools available.  You can
define them as part of your context, then just look them up when you
need a connection.
