[cx-oracle-users] Why do Connection and SessionPool objects not share an Environment?

[Alex T. <al...@fi...>]

Hello,

This is a question about the C implementation of cx_Oracle. I've been
reading the source code and trying to understand how you are using OCI.

When a Connection is acquired from a SessionPool, it creates a brand new
environment for itself, rather than using the environment that the
SessionPool already has. That seems odd to me. (See Connection_Acquire()
and Connection_Init() in Connection.c.)

Can you explain why you create a new environment?

Are you following the OCI documentation (if so where - I can't find
anything that suggests this) or have you established the method's
reliability by experience?

(Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question.)

-Alex
