What is Connection Pooling?
- Connection pooling is a technique used to manage a pool of database connections that can be reused, rather than creating a new connection for every database request.
- By reusing connections, connection pooling reduces the overhead of creating and tearing down connections, which can improve application performance.
- Connection pooling is particularly useful in environments where the cost of establishing a new connection is high, such as when using SSL/TLS for encryption.
- The pool manager monitors the pool for idle connections and reuses them when possible, reducing the need to create new connections.
- If no idle connections are available, the pool manager can create a new connection, up to a configurable maximum limit, to meet the demand.
How to Use ORM Connection Pooling Effectively
In software development, efficient database connection management is important for optimal performance and scalability. Object–Relational Mapping (ORM) has revolutionized database interactions, simplifying SQL queries. However, even with advanced ORM frameworks, poor connection management can impact performance.
In this article, We will learn about the ORM connection pooling technique, a key optimization for database access, How to Create a Pooled Connection, the Effects of Increasing Connections on a Database Server, and so on.
