问题
i am working on opensource java based application i.e xwiki. Insie hibernate.cfg.xml i can see value of parametrs connection.pool_size and statement_cache.siz as 2(for each). My application will be having maximum load of 100 users at point of time. Now my question is what should be ideal connection pool size for this. To me size 2 looks very less. If 100 users connect at a time 98 users have to wait for grtting the connection released? Should i keep the connection pool size as 100 in my case?
i am using microsoft sql server.
Apart from this is there a limit on max connection pool size. Does it depend on webserver(tomcat in my case) or datastore vendor(ms sql server)?
回答1:
If a typical request spends 50% of its time doing calculations and 50% on database connectivity you might only need 50 connections in your pool. Of course your application should release the db connection as early as possible.
In general holding a connection is not expensive for a database (while creating a new one is quite expensive). It should be no problem to keep the size high enough.
You can set
- maximum pool size to 100
- preferred pool size to 50
- and the idle timeout to 5 minutes for pooled connections.
I am not familiar with microsoft sql server but I think its max pool limit is 100
Tomcat will be fine with this number of pool size.

Sizing connection pool is not a trivial thing to do. You basically need:
- metrics to investigate the connection usage
- failover mechanisms for when there is no connection available
FlexyPool aims to aid you figuring our the right connection pool size.

You should evaluate the application's concurrency requirement, the database operation time, and also the how many connections the server(or db vender) can support.
So 100 users don't means you need a connection pool with size 100.

Beware that the pool may cost memory for nothing if unused. The pool configuration highly depends on where your bottleneck is:
CPU, memory, disc, network, complex database queries, high concurrency, ... many of those ?
Default pool size is often 5 up to 10. First make sure you have a problem with the database. Try extremes like 2 or 30 under artificial load and see how it behaves. I think the links provided by @vlad-mihalcea are quite interesting.
