CONNECTION POOLING IN POSTGRESQL
Michael J. Shelton · 2004
dedicated to my wife Cassie – without your sacrifice, this would never have been possible iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The biggest thank you goes to my family. They’ve probably wondered where their husband and father has been the last seven months (especially these last eight weeks). I love you and hope I can repay what you’ve given up so that I could finish this. Thank you to Ben R. Shelton, my dad, for helping me with the analysis. I never would have realized the possibilities of what I’ve begun with this experiment. It’s one thing to try something out, it’s a completely different thing to understand the impact of what you’ve done and to see new opportunities for further research with exciting potential for improvement. A big thank you to Amit Jain for being a great teacher who inspired me when I took my first Data Structures class at Boise State University. Everything just “clicked ” for me and I’ve been loving computer science and programming ever since. I’d also like to thank Amit for helping me achieve something so difficult and encour-aging me to keep going. This experience will be invaluable for my next step. Thanks to Tim Vance for helping me with the PHP scripting, it’s nice to have someone pull through in a pinch like that. I’d also like to thank my neighbors and friends for shunning me so I would focus and not get distracted (oh, and thanks to Cassie for asking them to do so in the first place). v
