Connection Pooling with MySQL Connector/J
Overview Connection pooling is a technique of creating and managing a pool of connections that are ready for use by any thread that needs them. This technique of "pooling" connections is based on the fact that most applications only need a thread to have access to a JDBC connection when they are actively processing a transaction, which usually take only milliseconds to complete. When not processing a transaction, the connection would otherwise sit idle. Instead, connection pooling allows the idle connection to be used by some other thread to do useful work. This article provides benefites of pooling and also implementation methods of Connection Pooling.
