Specifies the maximum idle time, in seconds, that a connection can remain in the pool before being closed. Requires UseConnectionPooling=True.

Data Type

int

Default Value

60

Remarks

Connection pooling is a mechanism that reuses established database connections rather than creating a new one for each request. This improves performance by reducing the overhead associated with frequent connection creation.

PoolIdleTimeout helps manage resources by closing unused connections, reducing potential overhead from maintaining idle connections. Lower values ensure quicker cleanup of idle connections, while higher values keep connections open longer, which may improve performance in scenarios with frequent reconnections.
