Must JDBC Resultsets and Statements be closed separately although the Connection is closed afterwards?
- by Mulmoth
It is said to be a good habit to close all JDBC resources after usage. But if I have the following code, is it necessary to close the Resultset and the Statement?
Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
conn = // Retrieve connection
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(// Some SQL);
rs = stmt.executeQuery();
} catch {
// Error Handling
} finally {
try { if (rs != null) rs.close(); } catch (Exception e) {};
try { if (stmt != null) stmt.close(); } catch (Exception e) {};
try { if (conn != null) conn.close(); } catch (Exception e) {};
}
The question is if the closing of the connection does the job or if it leaves some resources in use.
