No, I have at most 20 idle connections, that's goes right, but my boss want
less idle connections to avoid to overload the database server. So there
isn't way to close an idle connection to remove the relative process?
If so, I will set maxIdle="2" and everyone will be happy (expecially me :)


I'll bet money the added, idle postgres connections are just sleeping while they wait for work. Given idle connections contribute virtually no additional load, don't see his argument that idle connections contribute to a database overload. If the minor increase in overhead due to sleeping threads actually overloads the database, you need to let your boss know the server hardware is way too frail for production use and needs to be upgraded.

Thanks for reply,

I see you have maxIdle="20". Do you have more that 20 connections sitting idle? Is this really that much of a concern? As long as the connections are released (closed) and returned to the pool, I don't see the problem.

Thank you,

The entire idea of a connection pool is the system keeps around a set of idle connections for borrow. When you code get's a connection, it comes from the pool of idle connections and returned when you close the
connection. This speeds up your application by elliminating the overhead of contacting the server and constructing a new connection whenever you call for one. The pool just grabs a pre-made one off the shelf for you.
