Connection Management

Connect drivers and providers support the ability to pool and manage connections resulting in better performance and system utilization.

DataDirect connection pooling increases performance and limits drag on system resources Connection pooling is implemented and managed by the driver w/o impacting the application code DataDirect provides connection management capabilities Configurable pool options maximize pooling effect Ability to detect invalid connections Connection info can be used to prioritize work, trouble-shoot runaway queries Ability to reauthenticate users enhances performance in Kerberos environments
	Application code requests connection to DB. Application is completely abstracted from pooling logic – no application code required to leverage pool
	DataDirect allocates connections from pool when available, otherwise new connections are created
	DataDirect takes care of managing the pool
	Connection pooling has no dependencies on the underlying RDBMS
