title: Oracle Connection Pooling in .Net
body: <p>We have a system that uses an Oracle database.  I've been asked if the system makes use of connection pooling which I'm not sure about.</p>
  
  <p>We are using the <code>Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection</code></p>
  
  <p>When reading up on the subject I've found that connection pooling is set to true in the connection string and that it is set to true by default.</p>
  
  <p>Our connection string does not include any pooling settings.  Does this imply that we are using pooling and if so what would the default min and max pool size be? I've not been able to find any information on what these values would be in the case of using connection pooling implicitly (i.e. not specified in the connection string).</p>
