h3. Database pooling
Active Record database connections are managed by a connection pool base class called +ActiveRecord::Base.connection+. The class ensures that a connection pool synchronizes the amount of thread access to a limited number of database connections. This limit defaults to 5 connections and is configured in +database.yml+.
Below is an example of the pool limit being set to 25 for a development environment.
Active Record database connections are managed by +ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionPool+ which ensures that a connection pool synchronizes the amount of thread access to a limited number of database connections. This limit defaults to 5 and can be configured in +database.yml+.
<ruby>
development:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/development.sqlite3
pool: 25
pool: 5
timeout: 5000
</ruby>
Since all connection pooling is handled inside of ActiveRecord by default, all application servers (Thin, mongrel, Unicorn etc.) should behave the same. Initially, the database connection pool is empty and it will create additional connections as the demand for them increases, until it reaches the connection pool limit.

Any one request will check out a connection the first time it requires access to the database, after which it will check the connection back in, at the end of the request, meaning that the additional connection slot will be available again for the next request in the queue.
Note: If you have enabled +Rails.threadsafe!+ mode then there could be a chance that several threads may be accessing multiple connections simultaneously. So depending on your current request load, you could very well have multiple threads contending for a limited amount of connections.
