Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6440:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for logging this issue, Knut. Probably we can add a static method to
remove the connection from the HashMap in ForeignTableVTI and call that method
from ForeignDBViews.unloadTool(). Thanks.
> Connections opened by ForeignTableVTI never get released

> Key: DERBY-6440
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6440
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 10.11.0.0
> Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
>
> I noticed during a run of suites.All that one database instance never got
> garbage collected, even after it had been shut down. It turned out it could
> not get garbage collected because it was still referenced from the static
> HashMap _connections in ForeignTableVTI. Looking closer at ForeignTableVTI,
> it looks as if it only calls put() and get() on the HashMap, never remove(),
> so its memory footprint will keep increasing as it is used.
> It would be good to have some way (preferably automatic) of releasing the
> resources held by ForeignTableVTI when they are no longer needed.
