US Patent 7266543 System and method for accessing resources in a database

A method and database management system for connecting to a database involves reusing connections for operations performed in sequence, rather than creating independent connections for each requested client connection. An application server, or layer, receives the requests and parses them to identify modes of operation. Separate connections are created to support each mode of operation so that the database receives the operations and requests in a format that is sorted by type, at a rate that can be adjusted to match capacity of the database.
