Connection pooling - question

Hi there,

A simple question to clear my mind: is connection pooling for SqlClient
done at the OLE-Db level or is it done by the managed classes in ADO.NET and
therefore local to the application domain? In less words: is the connection
pooling global to the machine, and shared by all the .NET applications? (and
maybe even shareable with non managed applications?)

Thanks,
Juan
 
1) SqlClient does not use OLE DB (at all).
2) All .NET Data Providers are responsible for handling connection
pooling--each implements it according to the requirements of the server they
are connecting with. SqlClient is no exception. It handles its own
connection pooling.
