Keeping database connections open is an option in the datasource definition
in CF Admin. If you don't want it, turn it off. Having it on improves
performance, he has that wrong, but it can be turned off.

Subject: Understanding/Defending Coldfusion connections

OK so a friend of mine at an office I used to work at
is having trouble defending coldfusion over dot net

he tells me that this voice of 'authority' (its
strange that a man that speaks with confidence is
never questioned)

"said cold fusion ****[is no good] because it keeps a
database connection open all the time and that slows
down the program/app and server"

This particular web professional is converting all his
CF to dot net, because of this defense.

I've been briefly looking around so that I can
understand database connections better and respond to
him with the voice of reason (also to possibly
optimise the performance of the access back end I have
been stuck with on my current contract).

But I keep coming up with help files on configuring
datasources instead of information on how cf connects
to datasources.

Anybody have a good reference I can point to.
