Abstract
A method for providing database connections in a network includes: (a) mapping a first plurality of logical connections for a transaction at the application server to a physical connection between the application server and the database server; (b) sending a request of the transaction to the database server utilizing one of the first plurality of logical connections, where the request is sent utilizing the physical connection; and (c) processing the request by a logical agent on the database server, where the logical agent is associated with the transaction, where the request is maintained in one of a second plurality of logical connections within the logical agent. In this manner, connections are logically separated from one another with minimal storage implications. Conflicts and unpredictable behavior can also be avoided.
