What is connection pooling in Entity Framework?

Connection pooling is a technique used to enhance the performance of executing commands on a database by reusing active database connections.

How does it improve performance?

It reduces the overhead of establishing a new connection for every database request, which can be time-consuming.

Can I configure connection pooling settings?

Yes, you can configure settings like maximum pool size and connection timeout in your connection string.

What happens if the pool is exhausted?

If the pool is exhausted, new connection requests will wait until a connection is released back to the pool.
