Scala connection pool library?

Question

I'm trying to use Squeryl in a new Scala project. This is my first project in Scala, so I'm looking for a good Scala library to handle connection pooling. Of course I might as well use a Java library. What would be a best fit for SQueryl? Amongst java libraries I'm considering DBCP, C3P0, Proxool and BoneCP, being BoneCP a serious candidate looking at their benchmarks.

Answer 1

I've used C3P0 in production for many years, always been rock solid for me. Watch out with your DB driver tho, they can be very flaky.

Answer 2

I wrote a blog post about db connection pooling with slick you may find useful:
