Specifies the minimum number of connections to be maintained in the connection pool at all times.

Data Type

int

Default Value

1

Remarks

PoolMinSize ensures that at least 1 (default) connection remains available in the connection pool at all times. This ensures that the specified number of connections are pre-initialized and ready for immediate use, which helps to reduce latency.

Setting a higher value can improve performance in environments with consistent traffic but may increase resource usage.

Lowering the value allows the pool to release all connections during periods of inactivity, reducing resource consumption.
