In Oracle, connection pooling and reuse can be achieved by following these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, create a connection pool in Oracle database. You can use Oracle’s PL\/SQL package DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL to create a connection pool. For example, you can create a connection pool named MY_CONNECTION_POOL with the following statement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    EXEC DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.CREATE_POOL(pool_name => 'MY_CONNECTION_POOL', maxsize => 10, minsize => 2, incrsize => 1, session_state => 'ACTIVATED');\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Next, utilize a connection pool within the application to obtain a database connection. This can be achieved by calling DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.ACQUIRE_CONNECTION to retrieve a connection from the pool. For example, one can obtain a connection using the following statement:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      DECLARE\r\n   conn UTL_TCP.connection;\r\nBEGIN\r\n   conn := DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.ACQUIRE_CONNECTION(pool_name => 'MY_CONNECTION_POOL');\r\nEND;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. After using a connection in the application, it should be released so that it can be reused. The connection can be released by calling DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.RELEASE_CONNECTION. For example, you can release the connection using the following statement:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        DECLARE\r\n   conn UTL_TCP.connection;\r\nBEGIN\r\n   conn := DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.ACQUIRE_CONNECTION(pool_name => 'MY_CONNECTION_POOL');\r\n   \r\n   -- \u4f7f\u7528\u8fde\u63a5\r\n   ...\r\n   \r\n   DBMS_CONNECTION_POOL.RELEASE_CONNECTION(conn);\r\nEND;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        By following these steps, connection pooling and reuse can be implemented in Oracle, thereby improving the performance and scalability of the application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
