Information about the package, jakarta-commons-dbcp, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The jakarta-commons-dbcp package is designed for, Jakarta Commons DataBase Pooling Package.
Package Name:
jakarta-commons-dbcp
Summary:
Jakarta Commons DataBase Pooling Package
Description:
Many Jakarta projects support interaction with a relational database. Creating a new connection for each user can be time consuming (often requiring multiple seconds of clock time), in order to perform a database transaction that might take milliseconds. Opening a connection per user can be unfeasible in a publicly-hosted Internet application where the number of simultaneous users can be very large. Accordingly, developers often wish to share a "pool" of open connections between all of the application's current users. The number of users actually performing a request at any given time is usually a very small percentage of the total number of active users, and during request processing is the only time that a database connection is required. The application itself logs into the DBMS, and handles any user account issues internally.
