# r2d2
[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/sfackler/r2d2.svg?style=shield)](https://circleci.com/gh/sfackler/r2d2)
A generic connection pool for Rust.
[Documentation](https://docs.rs/r2d2)
Opening a new database connection every time one is needed is both inefficient
and can lead to resource exhaustion under high traffic conditions. A connection
pool maintains a set of open connections to a database, handing them out for
repeated use.
r2d2 is agnostic to the connection type it is managing. Implementors of the
`ManageConnection` trait provide the database-specific logic to create and
check the health of connections.

# Example
Using an imaginary "foodb" database.
```rust
use std::thread;
extern crate r2d2;
extern crate r2d2_foodb;
fn main() {
let manager = r2d2_foodb::FooConnectionManager::new("localhost:1234");
let pool = r2d2::Pool::builder()
.max_size(15)
.build(manager)
.unwrap();
for _ in 0..20 {
let pool = pool.clone();
thread::spawn(move || {
let conn = pool.get().unwrap();
// use the connection
// it will be returned to the pool when it falls out of scope.
})
}
}
```
