title: How to clear the connection pool for an OleDbConnection
body: <p>I am connection to an Access Database using a OleDatabase Connection. The problem is that I need to programmatically run the compact and repair operation on the database, however I can not do this while there are still open connections to the database.  The connections that exist are of course the connections from the connection pool from my program, however I can not seem to figure out how to clear the pool so that I can run the compact and repair.</p>
  
  <p>I do have a using statement on all connections that get opened to the database so the problem is not that I am not disposing of the connections properly, the problem is the connection pool.</p>
