Specifies the minimum number of connections maintained in the connection pool. The default value is 1.

Data Type

int

Default Value

1

Remarks

This property ensures that a specified minimum number of connections remain available in the connection pool at all times. This setting helps reduce latency by keeping connections pre-initialized and ready for immediate use.

By default, the provider maintains at least one connection in the pool. 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.
