[postmodern-devel] A question about connection pooling, and the many ways to connect.
by Jim Barrows 12 Nov '13

I'm a java developer, and I think I'm expecting something to happen that's not. In Java I setup a pooled connection, and just use it. The connections pool themselves. I had thought that by doing: (setf *database* (connect "PomBanDone" "pombandone" "pombandone" "localhost" :pooled-p T))) that I would get connection pooling. However now that I'm getting a better understanding of Lisp and I think Postmodern, that connections aren't getting pooled. I think I have to use (with-connection (spec &body body) in order to make the connection pooling work. Is that the case? If not, why would I want to use with-connection? Thanks! -- James A Barrows
