title: When to close connection to an oracle db from Asp.net
body: <p>I'm using a asp.net application to retrive my data from oracle db, &amp; return them as json to use them in my android application.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if I have to open , close my connection to the db everytime I do a request or if it's better to open my connection once and keep it opened because the application that I'm programming will be Opened for like 24h/7d .</p>
  
  <p>I've read something about connection pool, but it's a little bit confusing me,</p>
  
  <p>because I don't know if the connection pool will be used as I use a mobile application to ask my asp.net application.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance for your replies.</p>
