What is the suitable way to close the database connection in Java?

Question

I tried to close the DB connection.But had a bit of confusion, say

ResultSet rs = null 

Whether I have to it close by

rs.c         


        

Answer 1

The jdbc api tells us that closing the connection will close result sets and statements. Closing statements will close the result set. But I always close every result set and every statement myself because I ran into problems not doing so. Just use the close method provided by you result set, statement and connection.
