Thread: connection pooling -Help needed.

Dear Group!
        We are using Postgres 7.3.1 and pg73jdbc3.jar as the jdbc driver.
We use java swing to do the front end.  We would like to use Connection
pooling.  Can you point me to any documentation on how this could be
done.  Thanks in advance,

Shan.

Are you saying that you have Swing client applications connecting directly
to PostgreSQL?

Hello Adam Sherman!
            Yes we are using Swing based application to connect directly to
the DB using JDBC.  Any idea on how to setup up a connection pooling?

Regards,

Shan.

You will need to convert your application to use some form of middlewhere.

A connection pool only helps if you code that needs multiple connections to
the database. As you apps connect directly, each one needs it's own
connection and can't use a pool.

Hope this helps,

A.
