Perhaps I read too much into the description of "The tomcat JDBC Connection Pool" page?

TheJDBC Connection Pool|org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool|is a replacement or an alternative to theApache Commons DBCP <https://commons.apache.org/dbcp/>connection pool.

I reacted to the "replacement" bit. Are both equally sound, supported, surviving?  I try to use what I think is the safest longer term bet (my retirement is nigh, it shouldn't take the code with it :) )

Thanks. I get it. But...

- seems this solution raises the footprint of the pooler, with number-of-users * minimum-connection-count etc

- would it be beyond the pale for the pooler to maintain username-connectionList maps?

Per response elsethread, see PerUserPoolDataSource [1] provided by Commons DBCP.  It does that.

Thankfully, I'll be wildly successful if I have two concurrent users (a user may have hundreds of clients needing db connection)

(rant.  The RDBMSs really should have a more lightweight way of changing current user.  (e.g. postgres set role doesn't cut it, doesn't even invoke the users default search path))

Thanks again, I appreciate the feedback and knowledge sharing

Rob,

Since the connection URL names a specific postgres database is it standard practice to have a pool per target database?  (Switching databases in postgres amounts to closing/opening a connection.)

I generally consider a database connection pool to be a connection to a certain database/tablespace/schema, not a connection to an IP address. That's the only thing that would make sense in terms of an application, which would expect a connection to a specific data store, right?

If you are closing connections (and reopening them), the pool isn't dong its job.

I would recommend a separate pool per database/tablespace/schema.
