Connection Pooling and Caching

This chapter discusses the Oracle JDBC implementations of (1) data sources, a standard facility for specifying resources to use, including databases; (2) connection pooling, which is a framework for caches of database connections; and (3) connection caching, including documentation of a sample Oracle implementation. You will also find related discussion of Oracle JDBC support for the standard Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI).

The following topics are discussed:

- Data Sources

- Connection Pooling

- Connection Caching

  Notes: This chapter discusses features of the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package, formerly known as the JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API, which are available through the `javax` packages from Sun Microsystems. These packages are not part of the standard JDK, but relevant packages are included with the `classes111.zip` and `classes12.zip` files.

For further introductory and general information on these topics, refer to the Sun Microsystems specification for the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package.
