DBPool is a pure-Java library for the pooling of JDBC connections for
applications that require high performance database access.

Features include:

* Pool Manager to allow easy configuration and/or quick startup
* User-configurable pools to achieve high performance
* Caching of statements to provide maximum performance
* Multiple connection pools simultaneously
* User-definable connection validation allows increased reliability
* Connection limit allows constraining to database licence restrictions
* Improved performance through caching of statements

DBPool has been used in many large-scale commercial applications
throughout it's lifetime and various stages of development, on both
Solaris and Windows deployment platforms.

How does it compare to DBCP?

I've not used DBCP myself, but at looking at the specs it seems that
DBCP is a comprehensive package, so I imagine it can do every bit as
much as DBPool. That said, the footprint of DBPool is much smaller, so
it would likely be a better option for small WebStart applications and
similar. For server-side applications it's just a matter of choice.
Looking at the documentation for DBCP it seems DBPool is probably
simpler to get up and running quickly. I'll leave the details of
comparison to others. It seems a little biased for the author of one of
the products to make a comparison.
