Abstract
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between a database client and a database server. The proxy server establishes and maintains a set of logical connections to the database server. The proxy server receives a request from the database client, and generates a set of database commands that, when performed by the database server, are capable of fulfilling the request. The proxy server selects a particular logical connection from the set of logical connections based at least in part on a characteristic of the request, and submits the set of database commands to the database server via the selected particular logical connection. In various examples, the particular logical connection is selected so that various performance, efficiency, and security objectives are achieved.
