Purpose
Manages pre-spawned server processes. By default the Oracle Database can pre-spawn foreground processes to improve the performance of client connections.
A pre-spawned process refers to a process that has been spawned but does not have a session yet. When a user connects to the database or service a process is needed, the process performs further initialization as needed.
The procedures in this package configure the number of foreground processes for a connection pool, start a connection pool, and stop a connection pool.
Configures the minimum number of prespawned processes, the number of prespawned processes in a batch, and the initial number of pre-spawned processes for a foreground connection pool
