Well, we could invoke clear as part of the pool finalizer, or something like
that.
According to the JavaDocs for java.sql.Connection, "A Connection is
automatically closed when it is garbage collected." and I assume (perhaps
incorrectly) that everything get's gc-ed when the VM is shut down. But
you're right, fundamentally it is up to the JDBC implementation to make sure
that the resources on the database side are freed.
