	Why do I have more than one database connection?
A servlet, being a multithreaded application, may have several instances of itself running at the same time. When instances of the servlet try to share the same connection, they line up in a queue and wait for their turn. You'll get better performance if you have more than one database connection for them to share. There's a great way of efficiently using the database connections allotted to your account - a technique called database connection pooling.
