Graffiti to use VistaDB(graffiticms.com)

submitted by vistadb(879) 4 years, 3 months ago

VistaDB was chosen as the default because it has better support for multiple environments (Medium Trust, 64-bit, and Mono) compared to Microsoft Access. However, if you are already using Access or simply prefer it, you will still be able to use it. In addition to VistaDB, we are also adding one more database provider, MySQL. The setup and install experience for MySQL is very similar to SQL Server. You will be find the necessary files and steps in the beta 2 download. read more...

Connection Pooling update(vistadb.net)

submitted by vistadb(879) 4 years, 3 months ago

VistaDB has had connection pooling since one of the early betas. I was recently speaking with a user who had some questions and I could not remember the answers, so I looked through the code. I found one property that was not exposed to the public interface, and I decided to take the time to document my finding while it was fresh in my mind. Take a look in the help file (in Build 50) for a new HOWTO topic on Connection Pooling. Connection pooling enables your .NET application to recyle a connection a pool of connections that have been previously closed. Once a connection with a particular connection string has been created it is placed in a pool during the Close() operator and an application can then resuse that connection without the expense of rebuilding the entire object. When the application requests a connection an existing object is returned from the set of pooled connections. When the object is closed again it will be added back to the pool for reuse read more...
