    PoolingDriver implements the Driver interface, so you could use that wherever you need a java.sql.Driver.

    And similarly , PoolingDataSource implements the DataSource interface.

    (e.g. some frameworks need you to pass a reference to a Driver or DataSource , if you want them pooled you use one of PoolingDataSource or PoolingDriver -)
