caching web-database connections. licensing & performance?

I'm confused about this point, can someone help please:



Many web-database interface tool vendors (eg : WebDBC, NetDynamics, Cold
Fusion ...) list among the features of their products the ability to cache
database connections . According to this feature, the web-database
interface application caches and reuses open database-server connections
between web-server hits, which is supposed to improve performance. The
number of open connections is usually user controllable.



First, are these "open connections" between the database-server and the
web-server counted as multiple users or connected devices by the
database-server software, which will be limited by database-server
license?



And second, how would increasing the number of cached connections actually
affect performance? If first above is true, the problem would be deciding
between extra license costs and other upgrade areas.
