URL Nameconnection-option-connectionreset-explained-for-connect-for-net-oracle-provider
Article Number000141777
EnvironmentProduct: Connect for .Net Oracle Provider
Version: 4.2
OS: Windows
Database: Oracle
Application: N/A
Question/Problem Description
The documentation states: "ConnectionReset specifies whether a connection that is removed from the connection pool for reuse by an application will have its state reset to the initial configuration settings of the connection.
If set to True, the state of connections removed from the connection pool for reuse by an application is reset to the initial configuration of the connection. Resetting the state impacts performance because the new connection must issue additional commands to the server, for example, resetting the current database to the value specified at connect 

Can you explain in more detail than the documentation what that option does?

Would setting it to true negate the benefits of connection pooling?

Is there a risk of running out of connections or would it mean that some form of connection pooling is still done?

Resolution
When connected, the connection state could be changed by “Alter session”, “Use database”, “Native commands like literal format not used in Initialization string”, and so on. Because of this, if ConnectionReset is enabled, the driver will reset the connection to its initial state, like before it is put into the pool .

It wouldn't negate the benefits of connection pooling, it just means that the driver will have to make changes to the connection state which, at a small scale, can affect performance. Also, there is no risk of running out of connections by using ConnectionReset.
