oh for Pete's sake. These surely aren't developers, or even duhvelopers.
Promote them to HR or something harmless pronto.

Your Oracle choices are

1) Shared Server. You can control this.
2) Using the standard features of the connection technology that they will
be using anyway. The Oracle Provider for .Net does connection pooling, if
they are still with ADO that does connection pooling, if they are still with
ODBC then maybe HR might be a bit of an intellectual leap - but yep that
does connection pooling.
3) JDBC and a Java App server.

My personal preference would be to use ODP.Net and its connection pooling.
You could perhaps point them at Mark Williams article at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-jul/o46odp.html where he
points out that.


- You've already got connection pooling by default. - It works

Though while I've been typing this it occurs to me that perhaps a more
entertaining approach would be to let them write it and then submit the code
to Oracle-wtf.

Any ideas?
