I know that the ODBC "engine" on Win32-based systems is capable of
performing connection pooling, but I am not sure if the driver has to
support it or not...anyone?  Check the "Connection Pooling" tab on the ODBC
admin window in control panel.  If you don't have one, you might try
upgrading MDAC.

Subject: [INTERFACES] Connection Pooling...(Repost)...please do help...


I am using postgreSQL v. 7.0.2 on RH Linux 6.2 on the server with VB6
Application accessing the DB through postgrSQL ODBC driver v. 6.50.

I want to pool my connections on the postgreSQL server. Can some people
give me some pointers? Some Web Resources for studying this subject? My
experience on connection pooling is limited to MTS in MS environs.

With best regards.

Sanjay.

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.
