How good is Oracle Universal Connection Pool (UCP)

Question

Does anybody have experience with using Oracle UCP under real production load? Does it handle database reconnects well? Are there any multi-threading issues? Has anybody com

Answer 1

I have used UCP in a system with around 10 transactions per seconds (mean) and 360 transactions per seconds peak, and no problems yet. (Number is per app server with 8 servers)

However the main benefits you get from UCP is when you are using Oracle RAC and the TAF/FAN functionality, UCP with Dataguard or if you are running something outside an appserver.
