Because an application uses connection pooling by referencing the JNDI name of a registered PooledConnectionDataSource object, code changes are not required for an application to use connection pooling.
The following example shows Java code that looks up and uses the JNDI-registered PooledConnectionDataSource object created in "Creating the Connection Pool."
Note: This code example is drawn from an Oracle use case, but it informs the implementation of connection pooling for most Progress DataDirect drivers.

Note: To use non-pooled connections, specify the JNDI name of a registered driver DataSource object as the command-line argument when you run the preceding application. For example, the following command specifies the driver DataSource object created in "Creating a Driver DataSource Object": java TestDataSourceApp jdbc/ConnectSparkyOracle
