Public methods

hasConnectionPool

Added in 2.6.2

default boolean hasConnectionPool()

Identifies whether the driver has an internal connection pool or not.

A driver with an internal pool should be capable of opening connections that are safe to be used in a multi-thread and concurrent environment whereas a driver that does not have an internal pool will require the application to manage connections in a thread-safe manner. A driver might not report containing a connection pool but might still be safe to be used in a multi-thread environment, such behavior will depend on the driver implementation.

The value returned should be used as a signal to higher abstractions in order to determine if the driver and its connections should be managed by an external connection pool or not.

open

Opens a new database connection.

To open an in-memory database use the special name :memory: as the fileName.

Parameters
