Can it be related to the overhead of creating the extra connection objects and getting the connection to the db? You can take the connection creation overhead by running your query in a loop of say hundred iteration. Then if you average out by taking total time /total iterations, you may get the expected output. Sent on my BlackBerry® from Vodafone

I am getting confusing results which vary with no. of threads and no. of connection in pool Query: select sysdate from dual Test Case 1: no. of threads: 10 no. of connetcions: 1 Avg Sample Time is 5 ms Now i increase no. of connections to 2, thinking that it would decrease sample times. But now avg. sample time moves to 200 ms. I have noticed that increasing no. of connections while keeping no. of threads constant increases sample times. Please can someone explain this phenomenon? Thanks Regards, Jehanzeb Qayyum
