How to make database connection pool in PowerBuilder (v9+) with...

  • ...ODBC?
  • ...SQL Server?
  • ...Oracle?
Solution

  • Unfortunately, at least with PB 9, you can't natively. PB has always been a two-tier dev tool. However, if you are using the WebServices support that started in PB 9 you can get around this limitation by invoking WebServices on a connection pooled appServer. I haven't played with PB 11.5 yet BTW. Could be different there.
