[Firebird-net-provider] Connection Pooling questions

[Alessandro P. <pet...@in...>]

I usually use pooled connections in my web applications, but I don't
understand how and when they are released (looking at my Linux server
processes, seems never).
I think the Connection Lifetime parameter can help me in this, but how? In
the help file is reported to be working when a connection is returned to the
pool, but is it also working when web applications aren't in use (like a
separate thread doing the job)?
For example imagine the following scenario:
10 users are using my web application. At 6 pm they stop working and go
having fun :-).
Setting the Connection Lifetime to 20, I imagine all the connections being
closed at 6.20 pm... am I right?

TIA.
