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, with support for efficient repurposing of connections. In accordance with an embodiment, a software application can request that a connection be provided, to enable access to the database. In response to receiving the request, the connection pool can first determine if a particular connection with the exact desired attributes already exists within the pool, but is borrowed at the time of the request. If such a connection exists, then the connection pool can wait a period of time for that particular connection to become available, referred to herein as a double-wait. Subsequently, if the particular connection is not made available within the double-wait time period, the connection pool resumes its usual operation, for example by repurposing other connections.
