Just a quick question about connection management. My application will
never need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I do
not expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, I
would like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objects
requiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code and
then closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?
Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the object
and a close when I dispose of it?

First of all, what client library are you using?
Some client libraries, ADO and ADO.Net employs connection pooling, so
when you officially disconnects, the client library actually keeps the
connection around for some 60 seconds, in case you like to reuse it.
Connection pooling can be quite essential in web applications.
If you are writing a VB application and you know you will never have
any users connected, I don't see anything wrong in creating a connection
and keep the connection object alive as a global variable.

I have a problem with one of connections using the wrong connection string.
I have a form that has three late bound sql connections. Each connection is
local to the function that it used in. The problem I am having is that the
last connection uses a different username and password to sign in. By the
time that the third connection is opened, the other two connections have
been opened, closed, and disposed. What is happening is that the third...

Hi Jeremy,
Please try using 127.0.0.1 instead of (local) in the connection string:

I was just wondering what other people's opinions and experiences were in
regards to using Database Connections throughout a website. Supposing that a
single webpage accesses a database anywhere from 5-30 times throughout a
webpage do you prefer to open the database connection upon say
initialization and reuse it elsewhere whenever possible and then dispose of
it upon disposing or do you write 5 - 10 lines of code opening and closing

Hi,
I have an asp.net application which runs from a CD-ROM using Cassini. As
such, it is single user only.
The application connects to an Access database when it is loaded, and
keeps the same connection open all the time (as it's single user, this
shouldn't be a problem).
There is logic in the code to ensure that the connection is

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
