Re: Db pool: connection management policy



There are many possible approaches to this. Using dynamic sizing,
with some minimum and maximum numbers of connections is one of them,
hard-set pre-allocated pool is another one. Alexey's proposal (connections
are pre-allocated, but never used more then once) is yet another approach.
All of them have their place, and which policy we chose depends on
specifics of the application and use patterns.
In the ideal case, we should be able to chose which policy to use, either at
compile time, or at run time.
