I was reading about manual database connection management today and came
upon this section (emphasis mine) [1]:
> If a connection is created in a long-running process, outside of
Django’s request-response cycle, the connection will remain open **until
explicitly closed**, or timeout occurs.
From what I understand, manually closing open db connections is done by
calling `django.db.close_old_connections()`, but that function does not
seem to be documented officially.
I'm not sure if the function is undocumented by design (it is after all a
pretty unusual use-case and most users should never have to call it
themselves), or if that was just an omission.
