Abstract
A system performs operations that include receiving a database request to access, via a first connection in a connection pool, information stored in a database of the system. The first connection is associated with a physical connection layer and one or more logical connection layers. The physical connection layer points to a first network socket. Additionally, the operations include storing metadata associated with the one or more logical connection layers in a buffer. The operations further include responsive to determining that the first connection has been terminated and while maintaining the one or more logical layers, modifying the physical connection layer to point to a second network socket that is different from the first network socket. The operations also include subsequent to the modifying, processing the database request via the first connection based on the metadata stored in the buffer.
