Hi Chip: Thanks for your reply. I do not think the query is failing because the query runs and inserts the results successfully in the database. The only thing that does NOT happen is the closing of the connection and it remains inactive thus exceeding the maximum connections in the pool specified in the properties file (i.e. 100 connections). I will try testing the closing of connections in separate try/catch blocks and add a log to the catch block and see if it works :) Thanks and Regards, Abhi
