### JDBC Connection Pools

A connection pool contains a group of JDBC connections that are created when the connection pool is registered. Connection pools use a JDBC driver to create physical database connections. Your application borrows a connection from the pool, uses it, then returns it to the pool by closing it. To create a JDBC resource, specify the associated connection pool. Multiple JDBC resources can specify a single connection pool.

The properties of connection pools can vary with different database vendors. Some common properties are the database name (URL), user name, and password.
