Hello, I was reading an article from jguru, http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=161, which had a ref to a posting from May of 2000 that mentioned that one way to save time on database connections was to have a connection instance variable that was used each time to access the database. Is this an efficient/professional way to access the database or is it better to have a connection pool and create a new Connection variable each time you access the database?
Also, i was looking at the examples from apache dbcp, and it had an example using the DriverManager as well as an example using the DataSource. I could not find any good explanations on the web that tell the difference between the two. Is there an advantage for using one over the other?
