Well, to successfully use connection pooling, you need connection manager. My information is that pooling by the instance is rather buggy and slow. Here is an excerpt from the oracle documentation:
Oracle Connection Manager, an Oracle Net Services component, enables multiple client network sessions to be multiplexed, or funneled, through a single network connection to a database. The session multiplexing feature reduces the demand on resources needed to maintain multiple network sessions between two processes by enabling the server to use fewer network connection endpoints for incoming requests. This enables you to increase the total number of network sessions that a server can handle. With multiple Oracle Connection Managers, thousands of concurrent users can connect to a server. Figure 1-12 shows how session multiplexing can be used in a Web architecture. When Oracle Connection Manager is run on the same computer as an application Web server, the application Web server can route multiple client sessions through Oracle Connection Manager to ensure that those sessions have continuous access to an Oracle database server. This functionality is especially useful for Web applications where session availability and response time are major concerns. -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 7:25 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: shared server connections > > > Hello list, I am using 9.2.0.1.0 enterprise edition on > windows.
