                        host='host1',
                        user='user1',
                        password='password1',
                        db='db1',
                        autocommit=True,
                        cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor,
                        mincached=0,
                        maxcached=3)
mysql_pool_2 = MySQLPooled(app,
                        prefix='MySQLPooled2',
                        host='host2',

                        maxcached=3)
