Details about the issue :

Using the documentation : https://python-oracledb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/connection_handling.html#using-the-connection-pool-cache and https://python-oracledb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/connection_handling.html#using-the-connection-pool-cache

We should be able to name a pool through the argument pool_alias in the function create_pool so that we can then use it to create connections.
This seems to not be available anymore (pool_alias not being a valid argument of create_pool anymore).

This is an easy mistake to make - you are viewing the 'latest' doc which is the current development doc. The pool cache will be a 3.0 feature, when 3.0 is eventually released. It is not in 2.5.1, see that version's doc https://python-oracledb.readthedocs.io/en/v2.5.1/
