   My initial reaction is that this would be a function of your application
server. Is that what you mean by mid-tier client? We haven't investigated
this, but I understand the big-buck app servers claim they can connect to
multiple databases and fail over transparently. Of course reality may differ
from sales claims.

Would anyone care to comment on the combination
of Transparent Application Failover and Connection
Pooling.  If the (mid-tier) client has dedicated connections
that are shared, what does the client do when the instance
it is connect to suddenly dies ? Also, how do you deal
with load-balancing if the database end of the system
never sees new connections arriving, and therefore
doesn't have a chance to distribute connections between
instances after the initial period of client startup ?

Subject: Shared Server vs. Connection Pooling


My shop is using connection pooling. It seems like the trend is towards
middle tier connection pooling and away from Shared Server. What do you
think? Anyone know any cases where Shared Server is a superior option to
middle tier connection pooling(other than the reduction in cost)?
