10.4 pooling.PooledMySQLConnection Class

10.4.1 pooling.PooledMySQLConnection Constructor

10.4.2 PooledMySQLConnection.close() Method

10.4.3 PooledMySQLConnection.config() Method

10.4.4 PooledMySQLConnection.pool_name Property

This class is used by MySQLConnectionPool to return a pooled connection instance. It is also the class used for connections obtained with calls to the connect() method that name a connection pool (see Section 9.4, “Connector/Python Connection Pooling”).

PooledMySQLConnection pooled connection objects are similar to MySQLConnection unpooled connection objects, with these differences:

• To release a pooled connection obtained from a connection pool, invoke its close() method, just as for any unpooled connection. However, for a pooled connection, close() does not actually close the connection but returns it to the pool and makes it available for subsequent connection requests.

• A pooled connection cannot be reconfigured using its config() method. Connection changes must be done through the pool object itself, as described by Section 9.4, “Connector/Python Connection Pooling”.

• A pooled connection has a pool_name property that returns the pool name.
