ühendusbasseine

Ühendusbasseine, meaning "connection pools" in English, are a database management technique that improves performance and efficiency by reusing database connections. Instead of establishing a new connection to the database for every request and then closing it, a connection pool maintains a set of pre-established, ready-to-use connections. When an application needs to interact with the database, it requests a connection from the pool. Once the operation is complete, the connection is returned to the pool, rather than being terminated.

This approach significantly reduces the overhead associated with creating and destroying database connections, which can be a resource-intensive operation. By avoiding this repeated setup and teardown, applications can achieve faster response times, especially in environments with a high volume of database interactions. Connection pooling also helps manage the number of active database connections, preventing the database server from becoming overloaded with too many simultaneous connections, thus contributing to overall system stability.

Commonly used in web applications and enterprise systems, ühendusbasseine are typically configured with parameters such as minimum and maximum pool size, connection timeout, and idle connection management. These settings allow administrators to fine-tune the pool's behavior to match the specific demands of the application and the capabilities of the database server. Libraries and frameworks for various programming languages often provide built-in support for connection pooling.
