Now that Avi has reported bugs in DBConnectionBroker, I wanted to ask
why it is/was being used. There are other existing freeware connection
pooling packages. I have had excellent results using the 0.94 release
(JDK 1.1) of the JDBCPool package from www.bitmechanic.com. In the
programs I have written I have used multiple connections against
multiple RDBMS' including Oracle, SQL Server, HypersonicSQL and
InstantDB.
I just checked their website and they are now up to release 0.96, which
was a bug release version which was made last month. As of 0.95 they
have supported JDK 1.2. The recent release was made about 9 months after
the previous one. This suggests 1 of 2 things to me, that it is fairly
stable so it doesn't need to be patched often, or not enough people have
exercised it, so its status is simply unclear.
I also checked out the Village distribution and see that there is no
connection pooling mechanism included with it. Did I miss something? I
am not suggesting that Town be implemented without a pooling mechanism,
it is much better off with one than without one. I'm really attempting
to ask if DBConnectionBroker is the right one.
Thanks,
Andy
