What is Connection Pooling ?

Yes.

There is a pooling property with connection string. By default it is set to true.
Use this property to specify that a particular connection should not participate in the pool, but instead should be destroyed when it is closed. (More...)

Connection pooling is of

· A Connection Pool is a container of open and reusable connections. A Connection Pool is released from the memory when the last connection to the database is closed.

· The Data Providers in ADO.NET have Connection Pooling turned on by default; if you need to turn it off, specify Pooling = false in the connection string being used.

· Connection Pooling gives you an idle, open, reusable connection instead of opening a new one every time a connection request to the database is made. When the connection is closed or disposed, it is returned to the pool and remains idle until a request for a new connection comes in.

· The pool can house connections up to the maximum limit as specified in the connection string that was used to connect to the database.

Connection Pooling is controlled and the parameters passed to a connection string comprises the following:

· Connect Timeout

· Min Pool Size

· Max Pool Size

· Pooling

(More...)

Advantage of using Connection Pooling is an improvement of performance and scalability

Disadvantage is that one or more database connections, even if they are currently not used, are kept open
