A normal connection is pooled. A raw is not. For a pooled one, we have put
effort to make sure it works. (In some cases, we find DB server cutting idle
connections, so the idle pooled db connection object is not usable after a
while). To check the validity of the pooled connection, we do a simple
select on one of a table.

But when Hermes starts up in the first time, it may create the tables. So
before the tables are created, we cannot use the pooled connections (all
pooled ones are "considered" as invalid as it cannot do the select on the
table). In that case, we use raw connection.

Hope it is clear.
