AthenaPool is a toolkit to support use of LCG POOL as a persistence technology in Athena. It consists of several packages: PoolSvc(this one), AthenaPoolCnvSvc, AthenaPoolUtilities, DBDataModel, DBDataModelAthenaPool, EventSelectorAthenaPool, and OutputStreamAthenaPool.

PoolSvc provides mechanisms for POOL connection management, input and output catalog specification, and querying and control of POOL configuration options. PoolSvc is used via its IPoolSvc interface.
