I have been looking into the difference between using

DriverManager.getConnection();
and
FDWrappingDataSource.getConnection();

in client apps.

From my reading DataSource is the preferred way to get a connection
instead of using DriverManager.getConnection();

Especially in server side apps, but what about Client side.

Does one introduce more overhead than the other?

Is one preferred over the other on the client side?

I am asking from a single thread app, using a single connection to the
db at the moment.

Thanks
