ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a method and system for managing computer database connections. In accordance with the method of the invention, a database operation request is received for a first database. The first database comprises a first database type and the first database operation request comprises at least a portion of a first transaction A pool of interface objects is maintained, each interface object comprising an interface to a database of the first database type. Interface object status information is maintained, either by the interface object itself or externally, indicating whether or not the interface object is connected to the first database and whether or not the interface object is currently being used for a transaction. If a first interface object is connected to the first database and is assigned to the first transaction, then the first database operation request is processed using that first interface object. If no interface object is both connected to the first database and assigned to the first transaction and if a second interface object is connected to the first database but not currently being used for a transaction, then the second interface object may be assigned to the first transaction, the interface object status for the second interface object updated, and the first database operation request processed using the second interface object.
