List, I cannot tell from the documentation if pg_pconnect() or pg_connect() are really different in how the connection pool is managed. Does anyone know if that is the case? Seems that using pg_pconnect would dictate "use a pooled connection" and pg_connect is "use a pooled connection, or make a new one". On "live" apps which is better to use, seems pg_pconnect.
