Connection Pooling | MariaDB Documentation

1. Connector/Python

A connection pool is a cache of connections to a database server where connections can be reused for future requests. Since establishing a connection is resource-expensive and time-consuming, especially when used inside a middle tier environment which maintains multiple connections and requires connections to be immediately available on the fly.

Especially for server-side web applications, a connection pool is the standard way to maintain a pool of database connections which are reused across requests.

The typical way for creating and using a connection pool is

1. Create (and configure) a connection pool

2. Obtain a connection from connection pool

3. Perform database operation(s)

4. Close the connection instance and return it to the connection pool.

When creating a connection pool, the following parameters have to be provided:

1. Connection pool specific parameters

• `pool_name`: The name of the pool, if not specified MariaDB Connector/Python will raise an exception.

• `pool_size`: The size of the pool, if not specified a default of 5 will be set.

• `pool_reset_session`: If set to True, the connection will be reset before returned to the pool

• `pool_invalidation_interval`: specifies the validation interval in milliseconds after which the status of a connection requested from the pool is checked. The default values is 500 milliseconds, a value of 0 means that the status will always be checked. Since 1.1.0

• In addition to the connection pool specific parameters initialization method of ConnectionPool Class accepts the same parameters as the connect() method of mariadb module.

Example:

import mariadb

# connection parameters
conn_params= {
  "user" : "example_user",
  "password" : "GHbe_Su3B8",
  "database" : "test"
}

# create new pool
with mariadb.ConnectionPool(pool_name="myfirstpool", pool_size=5, **conn_params) as pool:
    print("Pool size of '%s': %s" % (pool.pool_name, pool.pool_size))

    # get a connection from pool
    with pool.get_connection() as conn:

        # print the default database for connection
        print("Current database: %s" % conn.database)

Output:

Pool size of 'myfirstpool': 5
Current database: test
