Connections and Pooling

[Jeff Demel]

I recently had an issue where I was getting "timeout waiting for 
connection" and "max pool size" type errors.  I finally was able to 
resolve the problem by setting pooling=false in the connection string.

While I'm happy to have resolved the error, it made me realize that I 
have no idea what is going on with connections and pooling on mySQL, so 
I thought I'd ask the group here for some basic instruction on this 
issue, and maybe a good link or two to some site or page or page that 
explains it in detail.  The manual either doesn't go into any detail or 
I am not searching with the appropriate keyword(s).  I just need a 
little direction and some detailed information on how connections and 
pooling works.

I'm using ASP.NET/VB.NET with CoreLab's MySQLDirect on a Windows 2003 
IIS server with the latest windows version of MySQL, if that matters.

TIA
-Jeff
