min value for connection pools

[JP Estrada]

Hi guys,

Is it good practice to set a min connection pool size to 0? Or is it better to set it to a value greater than that?

Like everything else, it depends on your application. A min connection pool size of 0 is generally safe because you don't have to worry about stale connections as much.
