Configuring External Connection Pools

An external connection pool is a collection of reusable connections to a single data source provided by a JDBC driver or J2EE container.

By default, a session uses internal connection pools (see "Configuring Internal Connection Pools"). For more information about configuring a session to use an external connection pool, see "Configuring External Connection Pooling".

If you configure your session login to use external connection pools, the session does not provide read and write connection pools and you cannot create named or sequence connection pools.
