Progess DataDirect for JDBC drivers support connection pooling using the DataDirect Connection Pool Manager. Typically, creating a connection is the most performance-expensive operations that an application performs. Connection pooling allows you to reuse connections rather than create a new one every time a driver needs to connect to the database. Further, connection pooling manages connection sharing across multiple user requests to maintain performance and reduce the number of new connections to be created.
JDBC support in the Progress DataDirect for JDBC Drivers Reference guides you through using connection pooling with the DataDirect Connection Pool Manager.
