I would, but I don't want my applications to rely on
Websphere or any other package.  I want to make sure they'll
work (at least sufficiently) on all apps.  A smaller shop
may not have those resources, and use something like what I
am with MSAccess as the DB.

So I guess what I'm asking is, will it hurt anything if I do
write my own pooling procedures and the driver I'm using
already impements pooling?

I understand as the data grows, the performance will suffer,
but that is the case with almost any application (although I
must admit RPG and the iSeries do a pretty good job, since
the DB is so nice).
