Guidelines for sharing database connections

Database connection sharing enables multiple object stores or isolated regions that reside in a single database to share a single data source. The ability to share a database is achieved by the use of a schema name. At object store creation time, you can specify a schema name and all the tables and indexes are created within that schema.

Database connection sharing provides the following benefits:
  • Reduces the application server administrative overhead of managing the data sources
  • Reduces the database administrator overhead with fewer databases
  • Reduces usage of database connections by the Content Platform Engine server
  • Allows you to create new object stores without the intervention of the database administrator and the application server administrator
  • Object stores and isolated regions that share a database require fewer data sources and database connections.
