[Mono-list] Problem with Oracle and Mono Charset...

[Daniel Morgan]

Sure, you can implement.  We accept patches.

You could look at System.Data.SqlClient on how it does connection pooling.

Another way is to use some OCI functions for connection pooling.  So, 
you might have to create DllImport functions for these OCI functions.
