I start H2 DB with TCP server. Looking at documentation I found how to set connection pool from java code.
I wonder: is it possible to create a connection pool from command line and set max number of connections in the pool?
As I unterstand it a connection pool is a kind of a separate "client" that sits in front of the database and has one or more connections open. Your program asks the connection pool - and not the database - for a connection to the database. The connection pool looks if there is an unemployed connection hanging around and returns it to your program.
You just start the database as a "normal" TCP server as documented in http://h2database.com/html/tutorial.html#using_server. But it's still up to you to write the connection pool program.

I'm using JDBC connection configuration and JDBC request sampler to fetch test data from database for large set of data for my test requirement.
My question is, if we connecting to database through connection configuration and JDBC sampler to fetch data from database then how we can close the connection from database like we are having other performance testing tool Neoload.
As of now what i'm seeing from total number of active connections in sql server using sp_who2 or below query is that JDBC connection not closed after jmeter test execution completed.
Question is, How to closed JDBC connection if my purpose to use is completed within the script execution?
Any help would be appreciated.
If this is something you really need, you can invoke DataSourceElement.getConnection() function from any JSR223 Test Element which will return an instance of java.sql.Connection so you will be able to call Connection.close() function.
Something like:
org.apache.jmeter.protocol.jdbc.config.DataSourceElement.getConnection('foo').close()
where foo is your connection pool variable name.
There's an issue with JDBC Connection Configuration when using connection pooling
Maximum number of connections allowed in the pool. In most cases, set this to zero (0). This means that each thread will get its own pool with a single connection in it, i.e. the connections are not shared between threads.
If you set 0 connections and problem still persist, open an issue for JMeter
Does SQL Azure allow 3-rd party connection pool like HikariCP or BoneCP?
We configured HikariCP it works when we just run app but later db doesnt response on request. Is it HikariCP issue or it's common connection poool issue and no need spending more time on investigation?
HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
config.setMaximumPoolSize(50);
config.setDriverClassName(env.getProperty("jdbc.driverClassName"));
config.setJdbcUrl(env.getProperty("jdbc.url"));
config.setUsername(env.getProperty("jdbc.user"));
config.setPassword(env.getProperty("jdbc.pass"));
config.addDataSourceProperty("cachePrepStmts", env.getProperty("jdbc.cachePrepStmts"));
config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSize", env.getProperty("jdbc.prepStmtCacheSize"));
config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSqlLimit", env.getProperty("jdbc.prepStmtCacheSqlLimit"));
config.addDataSourceProperty("useServerPrepStmts", env.getProperty("jdbc.useServerPrepStmts"));
See this SQL Azure page re: Connection Constraints.
Maximum allowable durations are subject to change depending on the resource usage.
A logged-in session that has been idle for 30 minutes will be terminated
automatically. We strongly recommend that you use the connection pooling and
always close the connection when you are finished using it so that the unused
connection will be returned to the pool. For more information about connection
pooling, see Connection Pooling.
See if any of these errors match up to your logs. Search that page for "terminated" and "busy" to find error codes that might be relevant to your issue.
I would suggest setting the maxLifetime property in HikariCP to 15 minutes, and the idleTimeout to 2 minutes.
There is nothing on the SQL Azure side that would prohibit you from using a 3rd party connection pool. My guess is that the connection failed between the server and the client and the client didn't remove the connection from the pool.
Moving forward, I'd ensure that whichever 3-rd part connection pool you end up using tests that the connection exists before taking it out of the pool for use.
Hope that helps.
Hey I'm using Glassfish open source v4 and I'm having a weird problem.
I have defined a JDBC connection pool to Oracle 11g in the admin console and I've set :
Pool Settings
Initial and Minimum Pool Size: 500
Maximum Pool Size: 1000
Pool Resize Quantity: : 750
And I've created a specific user for this connection pool. Yet sometimes when I inspect opened connections in the database I see that there are more then 1000 (maximum I've seen was 1440)
When this happens any query attempts fail, sometimes with OutOfMemory exception, some show http thread interuptions and some don't show any logs at all, just takes a long time.
What I am wondering is how is it possible the Glassfish opens more connections then I've defined it to?
1t try to compare output from netstat on appl. server and db server side. You may have some "dangling" connections. Also try to find some documentation about DCD (Dead connection detection) in Oracle.
Few years ago I saw situations where Java application server thought that the connection is dead because it is not responding for few minutes. So this connection was put onto some dead connection list and a new connection was created.
There also can be some network issues - for example there is a FW between appl and db server.
When TCP connection is not active for one hour then it's cut over on one side but DB sever does not know about that.
The usual way how to investigate that is
compare output of both netstat(s) (appl./db)
identify dangling TCP connections
translate TCP connection onto Unix process id(PID) of Oracle session process
translate PID onto Oracle session (SID and SERIAL#)
kill the session on Oracle level (alter system kill session ...)
We are using ADO to access Oracle 10g release 2, Oledb provider for Oracle 10g. We are facing some issue with the connection pooling. The database reside on the remote machine and connection pooling is occuring as it should. But if the remote machine goes down for some reason, the connection is returned from the pool and query on that connection fails. When this connection is closed, it is returned back to the pool instead of being invalid. The subsequent connection opening requests are sucessfull but query fails. This is strange behaviour, according to OLEDB specifications, provider must support DBPROP_CONNECTIONSTATUS property, thus in case of invalid connection, it would not be returned back to the pool.
Things get weired when the remote machine comes up. The connections in the pool are still invalid and although the connection opening succeeds, query on the connection fails. Oracle OLEDB is unable to connect to the server anymore and we have to restart our application. Well this is undesired cause our application is a critical application.
Any ideas on how to get over this.
Thanks

If you are doing this programmatically, use a try block, so that if something does happen, it won't fail. With a try block, you can catch an exception and ignore it, so that the errors are shushed.
You could tell the pool to not accept invalid connections, by marking the connection invalid before it is returned to the pool.
Connections are recovered after 10 minutes by default. Time can be set by the registry key SPTimeout under the oledb provider's root key.
Actually the default connection pool timeout is 120 seconds at least for this Oracle 11 32-bit OLEDB installation. You can find the registry settings at:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Oracle\KEY_orac
Where KEY_orac is the KEY_<oracle_home_name>
The key name is ORAMTS_CONN_POOL_TIMEOUT and the default value is 120.
It does not appear that you can set connection pool parameters at the connection string level.
In most connection pool implementation it is possible to check the connection before using it. For example: you define a check query like select * from dual and if you pick up a connection from the pool this query will be executed. If it fails, then the connection will be excluded from the pool and a new one will be opened.
When the Oracle 10 databases are up and running fine, OCILogon2() will connect immediately. When the databases are turned off or inaccessible due to network issues - it will fail immediately.
However when our DBAs go into emergency maintenance and block incomming connections, it can take 5 to 10 minutes to timeout.
This is problematic for me since I've found that OCILogin2 isn't thread safe and we can only use it serially - and I connect to quite a few Oracle DBs. 3 blocked servers X 5-10 minutes = 15 to 30 minutes of lockup time
Does anyone know how to set the OCILogon2 connection timeout?
Thanks.
I'm currenty playing with OCI and it seems to me that it's impossible.
The only way I can think of is to use non-blocking mode. You'll need OCIServerAttach() and OCISessionBegin() instead of OCILogon() in this case. But when I tried this, OCISessionBegin() constantly returns OCI_ERROR with the following error code:
ORA-03123 operation would block
Cause: The attempted operation cannot complete now.
Action: Retry the operation later.
It looks strange and I don't yet know how to deal with it.
Possible workaround is to run your logon in another process, which you can kill after timeout...
We think we found the right file setting - but it's one of those problems where we have to wait until something rare and horrible occurs before we can verify it :-/

SQLNET.OUTBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60
From the Oracle docs..
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28317/sqlnet.htm#BIIFGFHI
5.2.35 SQLNET.OUTBOUND_ CONNECT _TIMEOUT
Purpose
Use the SQLNET.OUTBOUND_ CONNECT _TIMEOUT parameter to specify the time, in seconds, for a client to establish an Oracle Net connection to the database instance.
If an Oracle Net connection is not established in the time specified, the connect attempt is terminated. The client receives an ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred error.
The outbound connect timeout interval is a superset of the TCP connect timeout interval, which specifies a limit on the time taken to establish a TCP connection. Additionally, the outbound connect timeout interval includes the time taken to be connected to an Oracle instance providing the requested service.
Without this parameter, a client connection request to the database server may block for the default TCP connect timeout duration (approximately 8 minutes on Linux) when the database server host system is unreachable.
The outbound connect timeout interval is only applicable for TCP, TCP with SSL, and IPC transport connections.
Default
None
Example
SQLNET.OUTBOUND_ CONNECT _TIMEOUT=10
