Preventing query to stay in pool How can I prevent my finished queries to stay in pool? 

Below is the image of my database and a lot of my finished queries are staying and I want them to be removed but don't know how.



This is my code that I made to sent the data from my database using Express:

Here is my articles.js file that sends the data as json.

router.get('/articles', (req, res) =&gt; {
  let sql = "SELECT * FROM ARTICLES";
  myDB.query(sql, (error, results) =&gt; {
    if (error) {
      console.log(error);
    } else {
      res.send(results)
    }
  })
});


and this is my connection.js that creates the connection to MySQL and Express

    const mysql = require('mysql');
const myDB = mysql.createPool({
    connectionLimit: 10,
    host: 'REMOTE_DATABASE_ADDRESS',
    user: 'hmidev',
    password: 'hmidev',
    database: 'VD_NEW_WEBSITE'
});

myDB.getConnection((error, connection) =&gt; {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        console.log(`Successfully connected at VD_NEW_WEBSITE`);
    }
});

module.exports = myDB;
Connections left in a connection pool will show up as "Sleep" in PROCESSLIST.  The "Time" will continue to grow until grabbed by a new "connect".
