Not using connection pooling, in our environment, significantly slow down all process, and increases overhead to an order that eventually will bring a server to a complete non-responsive state. Basically, you end up tying up every available active thread request with long running DB requests,

It certainly isn't for us. Connection pooling always gives us quicker queries; this is even more true now that we use dedicated servers, but it was true back when we used shared servers too (we're on Oracle). mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/

Good points. It seems to be an ORACLE thing. You can make the Global Temporary table either transaction or session specific using the ON COMMIT clause (DELETE ROWS or PRESERVE ROWS). No, we don't drop tables since there is only one type of temporary table. You just specify how it responds t

There is one other thing to consider in using connection pooling. I admit it is a bit off the beaten path but it bit me pretty good. I use Oracle stored procedures as much as I can. You cannot use connection pooling if your stored proc uses Global Temporary Tables. Since the connection is m

I guess it depends on your application, and the traffic you expect. One of our servers will process 500k db requests in a 4 hour period (according to FusionReactor), so in our environment we would be insane not to use connection pooling. Steve "Cutter" Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced
