Connection Pool
The connection pool section allows you to specify the number of database connections that can be open simultaneously, the refresh and timeout rates, and if a secondary connection pool can be used.
A connection pool is a collection of connections between Yellowfin and your database; each connection processes a single database query, so the limit set in the pool ensures how many queries will be processed simultaneously. This warrants too many queries from being processed and slowing down the system's performance.
