[TriLUG] mysql close statements

[spain at ncssm.edu]

I just wanted to get a opinion from the masses on close statements for
mysql.. 
 
If you open a connection in an include file, run your query, and then
display the results..
 
 Is it necessary to include a mysql close connection statement? Or will
these open connections you create close out eventually?  Does it have any
effect on mysql server if you don't close out the connection?
