I am new to JDBC. I know how to use DataSource to get connection and use prepareStatement to execute SQL against Oracle 9i. But everytime it takes a long time to establish the connection to Oracle. I heard of connection pooling can solve the long connection delay problem. But how do I get start using it? Am I required to buy/install special connection pooling facilities in order to use it?

Thx for any advice

Alec,
You don't need to buy anything. If you are using an application server like Tomcat or JBoss, it comes with the server. If not, take a look at the Jakarta Commons project for a connection pool implementation.
 
What's that smell? I think this tiny ad may have stepped in something.
