They should be automatically returned to the pool when unreferenced. The OP may be storing stray references somewhere, or associating them somehow to a reference cycle that takes time to be freed. In any case, explicit closing may not be the greatest idea (that connection won't go back to the pool I think, not sure, please SA gurus confirm), rather, they should be de-referenced thoroughly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
