I'm looking for connection pooling solutions for our php/apache server.
I already checked pgpool and pgbouncer but during the tests, I had the
following (mad) idea...
Why not to implement a connection pooling server side as apache for
example does?
I try to explain my idea...
The postgres server maintains a number of connections always alive (as
apache for example does)
even if a client disconnects.
The following parameters could be used to tune the number of connections
kept alive server side:
StartServers: number of postgres already active connections at server start
MinSpareServers: If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates a
new spare (connection)
MaxSpareServers: If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
spares (connections) die off.
The parameters has been taken directly from an apache httpd.conf sample...
Could it be possible to implement a similar solution on postgres?
What to do you think about this?
Thank you,
Denis
