Unfortunately there are databases and JDBC combinations, that do not free database resources, if you do not explicitely close all result sets and statements. If i remember right, SAP DB was one of them (BTW, only problem i had with it, and easy to resolve). You may then run out of connections, because the database did not free the connection until there were open result sets. I am quite sure, that this may apply to other databases, too, and i got used to explicitely close everything (i wrote my own wrapper classes for connections and statements, which ease these tasks).

Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" Per the javax.sql javadocs... When a Connection is closed it closes any open Statements. When a Statement is closed, it closes any open ResultSets. If you just dereference a connection (non connection pool) when the Connection is GC'd it is closed. If you use DBCP 1.0 as your connection pool it tracks Statements and ResultSets used by a connection. When you close the connection it will ensure the Statements and ResultSets still open for that Connection are closed.

I'm having memory issues, and having read the OOM error messages on the list, I've checked and found some open and not being closed connections, so I'm going back and closing them all. The question is do I need to explicitly close/dereference (set to null) all statements and recordsets too? Right now the system takes about 4% of my available memory just for the beans in question, so I'm trying to minimize what I store so that I could conceptually have more than one user. > > Thanks in advance, > Mike Nicholson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
