Database Resident Connection Pooling
Database Resident Connection Pooling provides for the pooling of "Dedicated" connections across client applications or processes. A dedicated connection refers to a dedicated server along with its database session. Use Database Resident Connection Pooling when multiple client applications (like mid-tiers) need to maintain persistent connections to the database, or when server resources (such as memory) need to be optimized.
In Database Resident Connection Pooling, clients are connected to a background process called the Connection Broker that provides the pooling functionality.
Contrast with dedicated server and shared server.
