System and method for performing connection validation in a multi-tenant environment

Abstract:

Described herein are systems and methods for providing access to a database in a multi-tenant environment, including the use of a connection pool, and support for efficient connection validation. For example, the system can support a "seconds to trust idle connection" functionality, which enables lazy validation of connections in the connection pool. The seconds to trust idle connection is the time period, expressed, for example, as a number of seconds, within a particular connection usage, that the connection pool trusts that the connection is still viable, and if so will skip a connection validation test before delivering the connection to a requesting application.
