[Pljava-dev] pljava reninitializing jdbc connection pool for every invocation

[Thomas Hallgren]

Hi Sriram,
PostgreSQL spawns a new backend process each time you make a connection. 
PL/Java will initialize a Java Virtual Machine instance the first time 
you call a PL/Java function using a connection. The JVM becomes a part 
of the backend process and its lifespan is thus equal to the lifespan of 
your connection. So while its indeed possible to create singletons in 
PL/Java, such a singleton is per connection.

 From the looks of it, you are trying to set up a pool of DataSources 
that will allow you to connect to other PostgreSQL instances from within 
PL/Java. I'm a bit curious why you would like to do that. Can you shed 
some light on what it is you want to do? Perhaps I can help suggesting 
an alternative.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
