This sample shows the use of object pooling. The application measures the amount of time needed to open and close a database connection a number of times. The "MTS Pooling checkbox" enables and disables the database objects pooling. There is a difference in elapsed time when running the test with and without MTS Pooling enabled.

This sample requires InterBase to be installed on the machine or to connect to a remote server. Make sure that the server is running before you run the example.

Implementation

This sample implements a method to turn on the MTS Pooling setting when selecting the MTS Pooling option.

It uses TIBDatabase to specify the database. In this case: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\Samples\Data\EMPLOYEE.GDB. The location to the database is specified in the DatabaseName property.

It uses TIBQuery to define the SQL Query. Right-clicking on the visual component and click Edit SQL to open the CommandText Editor where the SQL sentence is defined.
