at one stage there was talk of pconnect not releasing the connections in the

psonnect anyway.

if you don't use explicit transactions, then explicit commits are not
necessary. If you need to rollback somewhere on the page for reasons of
design or catching an error, then you need explicit transactions which you
need to start and either commit or rollback.
