Are you asking about:

* a connection pool - a number of database sessions shared by multiple users) or

* spool (a temporary storage area the database uses to hold intermediate results)?

Victor has answered for spool. If you are asking about a connection pool, it depends upon how the pool is configured. There are basically three options when a request for a session occurs and there are no more available.

* Return an error

* Wait for a period of time and return an error after a timeout

* Automatically allocate more sessions to the pool (up to a predetermined limit).

Hope this helps.
