No, ext/odbc does not support ODBC connection pooling at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-09-27 19:16:05] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #33797 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-06-24 11:11:50] cmb@php.net I agree that trying to re-use a persistent connection even though odbc_connect() is called is more like a bug. However, changing that in a stable PHP version may cause a BC break (some setups may rely on the behavior). Furthermore, persistent ODBC connections may not be the best idea at all, if the system supports ODBC connection pooling; a respective note for PDO ODBC[1] also applies to ext/odbc.
