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!
