Question
Not able to connect to managed postgres database through connection pool
- Posted on February 8, 2022
Asked by speeltronics
I can connect to my managed database directly, but when I try to connect to through the connection pool I get the following error.
dbpool=> \c defaultdb FATAL: no such database: defaultdb Previous connection kept
I have the pool set for the user and the database, but it still doesn’t work. Do I need to set special permissions or something to use the pool?

I figured it out, you just have to name the pool the same as the database you are trying to connect to.
