When a user accesses a SharePoint site he is identified by his wndows identity.
I was wondering which identity is used to access the database. Is it the identity of the user or does it use the windows identity of a service, or order to gain the benefits of connection pooling.
Thanks

It is usually the account set in the app pool of your share point site. To find out go to IIS, properties of the sharepoint site -> home tab -> Application pool (note the app pool). Go to that app pool -> right click properties -> Identity. That is the account used to access the database.
Hope this helps.
