I don't believe that's true. My understanding of pgpool is that it will reuse an existing connection if it's free, or open a new one if required.


Gah!  It just made it worse!

$ ps auxwww | grep pgpool | grep dbuser | wc -l
      30
$ ps auxwww | grep postgres: | grep dbuser | wc -l
      38

So not only is it not sharing connections among clients, but it's keeping old ones open too. This isn't really what I had in mind.

Also, many of the applications are launched in the morning and open a connection, then get used all day, then closed at the end of the afternoon. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps pgpool-II isn't what I was looking for.
