Henson, sorry! It seems that I was wrong. If you made an Sql instance by calling newInstance() then there would be only one JDBC connection and it would be alive until close() is called explicitly, either directly on the connection or on the Sql object itself, or when the program terminates.
So, calling eachRow() actually uses existing connection, it does not create another one. What gets closed is the ResultSet and Statement objects. When I answered your question it was 5 am in my time zone, and that is my excuse. ;-) Cheers, Dinko On 30 April 2015 at 21:46, Owen Rubel <[email protected]> wrote: > That was why I asked about a connection pool.
