django-db-connection-pool 1.0.2

Persistent database connection backends for Django

django-db-connection-pool

MySQL & Oracle connection pool backends of Django, Be based on SQLAlchemy.

Quickstart

1. Install with pip:

   $ pip install django-db-connection-pool
   

2. Configuration

   • MySQL

     change django.db.backends.mysql to dj_db_conn_pool.backends.mysql:

     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             ...
             'ENGINE': 'dj_db_conn_pool.backends.mysql'
             ...
         }
     }
     

   • Oracle

     change django.db.backends.oracle to dj_db_conn_pool.backends.oracle:

     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             ...
             'ENGINE': 'dj_db_conn_pool.backends.oracle'
             ...
         }
     }
     

   • pool options(optional)

     you can provide additional options to pass to SQLAlchemy's pool creation, key's name is POOL_OPTIONS:

     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             ...
             'POOL_OPTIONS' : {
                 'POOL_SIZE': 10,
                 'MAX_OVERFLOW': 10
             }
             ...
          }
      }
     

     Here's explanation of these options(from SQLAlchemy's Doc):

     • pool_size: The size of the pool to be maintained, defaults to 5. This is the largest number of connections that will be kept persistently in the pool. Note that the pool begins with no connections; once this number of connections is requested, that number of connections will remain. pool_size can be set to 0 to indicate no size limit; to disable pooling, use a :class:~sqlalchemy.pool.NullPool instead.

     • max_overflow: The maximum overflow size of the pool. When the number of checked-out connections reaches the size set in pool_size, additional connections will be returned up to this limit. When those additional connections are returned to the pool, they are disconnected and discarded. It follows then that the total number of simultaneous connections the pool will allow is pool_size + max_overflow, and the total number of "sleeping" connections the pool will allow is pool_size. max_overflow can be set to -1 to indicate no overflow limit; no limit will be placed on the total number of concurrent connections. Defaults to 10.

     or you can use dj_db_conn_pool.setup to change default arguments(for each pool's creation), before using database pool:

     import dj_db_conn_pool
     dj_db_conn_pool.setup(pool_size=100, max_overflow=50)
