Restart SQL Server if I change max pool size?

Question

If I change "Max Pool Size" in my connection string, do I need to restart SQL Server for the change to take effect?

Answer 1

When a connection is first opened, a connection pool is created based on an exact matching algorithm that associates the pool with the connection string in the connection. Each connection pool is associated with a distinct connection string. When a new connection is opened, if the connection string is not an exact match to an existing pool, a new pool is created.
