I inherited an ASP site whose ASP pages liberally include a large config file that, among many other things, opens two ADODB connections to MS SQL servers via:
SET Connection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Connection.Open "Provider = sqloledb;" & _
I appears that on many pages these connections are never closed (though it's hard to be certain because the code is a maze of ASP #include
s). In contrast, on some there is a very clear <% CONNECTION.CLOSE %>
.
What is the consequence of failing to close these connections by the end of a GET?
