In an illustrative embodiment of a method for managing a resource pool for deadlock avoidance, a computer receives a request from a thread for a connection from the resource pool, and determines whether the thread currently has at least one connection from the resource pool. Responsive to a determination that the thread currently has at least one connection from the resource pool, a new concurrent connection from one of a reserved partition of the resource pool is allocated and the connection is returned to the thread.
