DBPool

Description

DBPool is a Java-based database connection pooling utility, supporting time-based expiry, statement caching, connection validation, and easy configuration using a pool manager. To ensure good application response time for each client, the application needs to be profiled to find the time spent performing each of its tasks. One of the most expensive database-related tasks is the initial creation of the connection. Once the connection has been made the transaction often takes place very quickly. A connection pool maintains a pool of opened connections so the application can simply grab one when it needs to, use it, and then hand it back, eliminating much of the long wait for the creation of connections.
