What is c3p0 Hibernate?

By default, Hibernate uses JDBC connections in order to interact with a database. In production, we would use an external connection pool by using either a database connection provided by JNDI or an external connection pool configured via parameters and classpath. C3P0 is an example of an external connection pool.

How does Hibernate connection pool work?

Hibernate doesn’t really ship any real connection pooling mechanism. It provides an internal connection manager, which is very rudimentary. The reason is simple: almost (if not all) Application Servers (like JBoss AS) and Servlet Containers (like Tomcat) provides a connection pooling mechanism by default.

What is acquireIncrement?

acquireIncrement determines how many Connections a c3p0 pool will attempt to acquire when the pool has run out of Connections. (Regardless of acquireIncrement, the pool will never allow maxPoolSize to be exceeded.) And minPoolSize usage: Minimum number of Connections a pool will maintain at any given time.

What is Hibernate c3p0 Max_statements?

max_statements Maximum Number of statements that will be cached. Caching of prepared statements is essential for best performance with Hibernate.

What is the max number of statements in hibernate?

hibernate.c3p0.timeout You specify the timeout period (in this case, 300 seconds) after which an idle connection is removed from the pool). hibernate.c3p0.max_statements Maximum Number of statements that will be cached. Caching of prepared statements is essential for best performance with Hibernate.

Which is the default connection provider in hibernate?

Generally about the configuration. Hibernate uses its magic to identify which connection pool provider to use — based on the properties you configure. However you can define the connection provider with the hibernate.connection.provider_class property. If you do not configure a connection pool, the default is used.

How to create a connection pool in hibernate?

C3P0 is an open source connection pool which has a Hibernate package which you can add as dependency to your project and you are ready to configure the pool: The most important configuration properties of the c3p0 connection pool are the following: c3p0.min_size: Minimum number of JDBC connections in the pool. Hibernate default: 1

What is the max number of JDBC connections in hibernate?

Hibernate default: 1. c3p0.max_size: Maximum number of JDBC connections in the pool. Hibernate default: 100. c3p0.timeout: When an idle connection is removed from the pool (in second). Hibernate default: 0, never expire. c3p0.max_statements: Number of prepared statements will be cached.
