Hi folks 👋 there is a PR wanting to add Oracle connection pool support into Django: [Fixed #7732 -- Added support for connection pooling in oracle backend. by suraj-ora-2020 · Pull Request #18568 · django/django · GitHub](https://github.com/django/django/pull/18568)

I would love if some of our Oracle users could test this against their Django project and give feedback on the PR

Thank you ⭐ 🫂

This has been pinned for a short period to try and get more eyes on this - we’re still happy for testers/reviewers 👍
