This is so true and easy to overlook until a post mortem. A great exercise is to audit how connections are maintained in your application, before it's too late.

I'm reminded of a systems failure described in, IIRC, the O'Reilly book "Release It!". Java ODBC exception swallowed resulted in eventually running out of connections.

Very tough problem to troubleshoot without extensive monitoring.
