Disabling Connection Pooling

ADO.NET Data Providers automatically use connection pooling turned on. If you want to turn this functionality off:

In an SQLConnection object, Add this to the connection string:

Pooling=False;

In An OLEDBConnection object, add this:

OLE DB Services=-4;

This way, the OLE DB data provider will mark your connection so that it does not participate in connection pooling.
