When to close a Statement

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

After having had some problems with JDBC statements, as I mentioned in a
previous post, due to different behaviours between versions 7.x and 8.x
in the way Postgres deals with statements, I would like to know what is
the proper way of dealing with this.

I realized that the need to close the statement is implementaion
dependent, and now I'm a bit confused as I can't find anything in
Postgres docs about this issue... so the questions are:

- - must I close the statement after *every* executeXXX method call?

- - should I also close the connection as well, or may I leave it open
during the application execution?

Thanks,

Carlos
