Dear,
I am building an automation program on Autodesk's AutoCAD application. This program is designed to use an SQL server database in which some configuration information is stored, which is used by the program at various occasions during the processing of a design file in AutoCAD. The application does not require continuous connection with the database but occasionally when it needs to read a configuration information, it needs to connect.
I have recommended my customer to buy 5 CAL of SQL server for this program. This program is used by a large designer community (15 to 20 people). Even though the program is closing the connection immediately after reading the necessary configuration, the maximum number of concurrant connections gets exhausted and new connection attempts fail! Our application log clearly indicates that not even 3 connection requests are there simultaneously!
What could be wrong? is SQL server holding the connection even after it is closed? Is there something else (other than closing the connection) we need to do to get it released?
-Thanks
Aju
