Hashtable used incorrectly, possible reliability loss
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: DNET-230
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-230
Project: .NET Data provider
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ADO.NET Provider
Affects Versions: 2.5.0 Beta 2, 2.1.0
Environment: not applicable
Reporter: Stefan Schultze
Assignee: Jiri Cincura
Priority: Minor
Hashtable uses the GetHashCode() method internally to determine if a specified
key *might* exist in the table, plus where a specified key *would* be found if
it exists. It then looks for the actual key.
FbPoolManager and FbConnectionPool use Hashtable in an incorrect way. They
first call GetHashCode on the connection string, and then pass that to the
Hashtable.
Consequence: If two connection strings have the same hash code (unlikely, but
indeed possible!), the connection pool might return the wrong connection.
Simple workaround: Use the connection string as the Hashtable key, not its hash
code. Exactly as fast, but reliable.
