Thank you Mike I appreciate the feedback on your experience. Now you know I was going to ask. How did you get around the "native" issue in poolman? And do you know of another tool(s) that does not have this issue? (with Oracle 8.1.7) I would like to go "generic" but I have not seen any third party implementations of the Oracle ConnectionCache (pooling physical connections).

But, barring those issues, if you use a "generic" connection pooling system, rather than the oracle one, it'll make it easier to move from one database vendor to other in the future. If you're going to do this you're going to want to find one that returns "native" statements rather than wrapped statements, some oracle things need the native oracle statement, and won't work with a wrapped connection (the xsql tools come to mind). Also, you're probably going to want one that'll tell you what's going on in the pool. Personally I use poolman, which is missing the native statements issue, but its easy to work around it. Your mileage may vary, batteries not include, some assembly required. --mikej -=------ mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Gregory, Carlton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 12:54 PM > To: 'Tomcat Users List' > Subject: RE: JDBC Pooling Clarification > > thanks Yoav, > > Oracle has some good example on there technet.oracle.com site but the use > > OC4J instead of Tomcat. > > With the many docs I was coming across on the web it became confusing as > to > what is a MUST and what is a CHOICE. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 4:44 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: JDBC Pooling Clarification > > > > Howdy, > > > Question 1.
