Implementation of Connection Pooling
Although the case for connection pooling is clear, implementation
is a recent development. Its conception was around the time of
ApacheCon in November 2003, when I floated the idea in a "Birds of
a Feather" session entitled "the module developers wishlist".
Having discussed it and found I was not alone in wanting it,
I procceed to implement, in addition to the Site Valet connection
pooling module, open-source PostgreSQL and MySQL connection pooling
modules. Paul Querna has implemented a similar module for connecting
to a database with libdbi.
The PostgreSQL and MySQL implementations are available at
apache.webthing.com.
The libdbi implementation is at
outoforder.cc.
