# JDBC Connection Pool --> Configuration --> General

Tasks Related Topics Attributes

## Overview

In the JDBC Connection Pool—>Configuration—>General tab, you specify the general attributes of a connection pool necessary for connecting to a database. A connection pool contains a group of JDBC connections that are created when the connection pool is registered, usually when starting up WebLogic Server or when deploying on a new server. Your application borrows a connection from the connection pool, uses it, then returns it to the connection pool by closing it.

## Attributes

Table 114-1

Attribute Label | Description | Value Constraints
--- | --- | ---
Name | The name of this connection pool. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. JDBCConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `Name` | Dynamic: no
URL | The database URL used to create the connections in this Connection Pool. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. JDBCConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `URL` | Dynamic: no
Driver Classname | The full package name of the JDBC driver class used to create the physical connections between WebLogic Server and the DBMS for this connection pool. For example: `com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver` It must be the name of a class that implements the `java.sql.Driver` interface. Check the documentation for the JDBC driver to find the full pathname. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. JDBCConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `DriverName` | Dynamic: no
Properties | The list of properties passed to the the JDBC Driver to use when creating physical database connections. The list consists of attribute=value tags. Enter each pair on a separate line. For example `user=scott server=myDB` MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. JDBCConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `Properties` | Dynamic: no
Password | The database password used to create the physical database connections. This password overrides the password that you enter in the Properties field. See Using the JDBC Connection Pool Assistant MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. JDBCConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `Password` | Encrypted: yes Dynamic: no
Open String Password | This password is used in an openString to create physical XA database connections. The value is stored in an encrypted form in the config.xml file. If set, this value overrides any password value in the openString defined in `Properties`. If your JDBC driver requires it, you must create the remainder of the openString in the properties field. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. JDBCConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `XAPassword` | Encrypted: yes Dynamic: no
