This is a good question. Until now, I was implementing my own
connection pooling mechanism in my client application.

I have one question for you Andrus.  Are you trying to create a three
tier application that uses ODBC on the second tier to handle
connections for multiple third tier clients?   This would be a good
use for connection pooling.

In my case, I use a two tier approach.  When using only two tiers, I
feel it is better if the client use only one connection that is opened
and maintained throughout the client apps life-span.  In this scenario
to many connections is only going to waste PG server memory resources
but will not give the client any benefits that beyond what a single
connection could due.
