Value must be lower than [@@wait\_timeout](/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/server-system-variables.md). In seconds (0 means never release) | *integer* | 1800 | | `minimumIdle` | Permit to set a minimum number of connection in pool. Recommendation is to use fixed pool, so not setting this value. | *integer* | *set to connectionLimit value* | This permits to set a minimum pool size, meaning that after a period of inactivity, the pool will decrease the inner number of connection to a minimum number of connections (defined with `minimumIdle`).\ By default, connections not used after `idleTimeout` (default to 30 minutes) will be discarded, avoiding reaching server [@@wait\_timeout](/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/server-system-variables.md). Pool handle connection creation automatically, with now some delayed after failing to establish a connection, to avoid using CPU unnecessary.\ Authentication error in pool have now a better handling. ## Changelog For a complete list of changes made in this release, with links to detailed information on each push, see the [changelog](/docs/release-notes/connectors/node.js/changelogs/2.x/2.0.5.md). *This page is: Copyright © 2026 MariaDB.
