Serious client applications that need it already do it. Firing up an
Oracle or most other db's isn't that lightweight a deal, either, it's
not useful only for PG..
Personally I'd just view it as getting in the way, but then I use a
webserver that's provided connection pooling for client threads for the
last seven years ...
I agree with Tom that the client seems to be the best place to do this.
Among other things it isn't that difficult. If you know how to fire up
one connection, you know how to fire up N of them and adding logic to
pool them afterwards is easy enough.
