I think the JDBC driver has connection pooling also, but not session pooling. OCCI might have both. But I haven't checked. OCCI is AFAIK just an OO wrapper around OCI so it should have every functionality that OCI has. Tanel. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net

I agree that the implementation of a connection pool is dependent on the app server, which for various reasons, might choose not to use the connection pool inherent in the programming interface, whether it's OCI or JDBC. One reason may be that the app server already has its own connection
