The use of resources which are expensive to obtain, should be minimised. But sometimes it cannot be avoided all together. So the better strategy is to reuse the expensive resources as much as possible, once obtained. JDBC Connections are expensive resources and obtaining them is a time-consuming operation. So it is an optimization strategy to pool these Connections with some Resource Manager mediating the access to these Connections. You can get a more detailed explanation of Connection Pooling in any tutorial on JDBC 2.0. HTH, Reyas
