Connection pooling

Connection pooling refers to the behavior where IBM i Access ODBC connections are left open after the application has requested to disconnect them. Connections that are in the pool can be reused by the same application avoiding the time consuming operation of creating a brand new connection.

To get an application to use connection pooling support with the IBM i Access ODBC driver refer to the following documents:

• When using ODBC Windows, refer to the MSDN Driver Manager Connection Pooling document.
• When using unixODBC on Linux, refer to the unixODBC ODBC Connection pooling document.
