Restricting Pool size using Oracles OracleConnection

Connection string

This Oracle Data Provider for .NET / ODP.NET connection string can be used for connections to Oracle.

Use this one if you want to restrict the size of the pool.

Data Source=myOracle;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Max Pool Size=40;
Connection Timeout=60;

The Max Pool Size attribute sets the maximum number of connections for the connection pool. If a new connection is requested, but no connections are available and the limit for Max Pool Size has been reached the connection pooling service waits for the time defined by the Connection Timeout attribute. If the Connection Timeout time has been reached, and there are still no connections available in the pool, the connection pooling service raises an exception indicating that the request has timed-out.
