What is connection pooling in SQLAlchemy?

Connection pooling in SQLAlchemy is a technique used to manage database connections efficiently by reusing existing connections.

Why is connection pooling important?

It's important because it reduces the overhead of establishing new connections, improving performance and resource utilization.

How do I implement connection pooling in my SQLAlchemy application?

You can implement it by using the create_engine function with the pool_size and max_overflow parameters.

Can you give me an example of how to set it up?

Sure! Here's a simple example: engine = create_engine('sqlite:///example.db', pool_size=5, max_overflow=10).
