Actually, you should wrap your code in a try/catch/finally block. The closing of the connection should always happen in the finally block to ensure that it closes if an exeption occurs. That being said, once this object is out of scope, garbage collection should close the connection for

I'd actually wrap this whole thing in a very simple helper object which can handle creating the DB connection and destroying it. Also, make sure you use parameterized queries to prevent any SQL injection. -dhs Dean H. Saxe, CISSP, CEH [EMAIL PROTECTED] If liberty means anything at all, it

to answer the other questions, you don't have to worry about this in CF code, CF handles the closings for you. Also note that unless you have connection pooling off for some reason, CF handles that too. Your direct approach is bypassing any sort of connection pooling. DK On Jan 24, 2008 8:12

That pretty much covered it. It's also one of the benefits to CF in my opinion. As far as a case where you would want to turn off connection pooling. I haven't run across a situation that would call for that. Here's an interesting article by Steven Erat about conection pooling..

Thanks, Charlie. I had previously checked for information, but this is one site I did not see. I did find where others have encountered various versions of this update issue. I worked on the problem and finally concluded that the problem was that eclipse.org was in the search list, and that
