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've seen multiple customers using UCP in production. I've seen none of the issues you are concerned about. It performs quite well under load. And can handle reconnects. The reconnect policy is configurable. It also supports RAC quite well.

But the real upside to using a commercial connection pool is that someone is responsible for any problems you have. You would be surprised how many people try to develop and maintain their own connection pool.
