First I don't use our PooledConnection and I'm also a little unclear on
whose resposibility (CPDS vs the actual pool) certain things are, so this
is just a combination of anecdotes and looking at the code. Nothing is
really broken for normal use, but when something goes wrong there is very
little error detection and fallback. Specifically when a connection to
the database server is lost via a server restart or even potentially user
level code Statement.execute("SET client_encoding TO 'LATIN1'); the dead
connection is not destroyed and will keep being given to clients.
