c# - Connection Pooling in .NET/SQL Server?

Question

Is it necessary or advantageous to write custom connection pooling code when developing applications in .NET with an SQL Server database? I know that ADO.NET gives you the option to enable/disable connection pooling -- does that mean that it's built into the framework and I don't need to worry about it? Why do people talk about writing their own connection pooling software and how is this different than what's built into ADO.NET?

Answer 1

The connection pooling built-in to ADO.Net is robust and mature. I would recommend against attempting to write your own version.
