Hi all. I was wondering which would be a better choice, to create a separate ODBC connection for each running instance of my application, or make all of them the same one. All instances have multiple threads, which access the same database and manipulate the same tables.

I'd like to know what is the advantage of using multiple vs one connection(s) performance and data safety wise. I searched online, but i couldn't find any articles and such. Any help, including links to articles, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

isn't going to matter performance-wise since each instance of the app will make its' own connection to SQL Server.

one is easier to manage
