DataReader not closed when Connection is closed, consequences?

for example i have this code :

Sub Month()
    Dim Conn As New Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection
    Conn.Open()
    Try

        Dim Cmd As New Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand
        With Cmd
            .Connection = Conn
            .CommandType = Data.CommandType.Text
            .CommandText = "SELECT * FROM MONTH"
        End With
        Dim datareader As Data.OracleClient.OracleDataReader = Cmd.ExecuteReader
        While datareader.Read
            Response.Write(datareader(0))
        End While
    Catch ex As Exception
        Throw ex
    Finally
        Conn.Close()
    End Try
End Sub

What will happen to the datareader when the Connection is closed ( Conn.close)

Will the Cursor that is used by the datareader be fre开发者_如何学Goed ? or will it stay open ?

If the cursor that is used by the datareader is still open , when will it be automatically closed ? or should i just closed it manually ?

Will it cause the dreaded "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded" ?

thanks in advance

You should create the objects in a using block so they are properly disposed:

Using Conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
    Conn.Open()

    Dim Cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
    With Cmd
        .Connection = Conn
        .CommandType = Data.CommandType.Text
        .CommandText = "SELECT * FROM MONTH"
    End With

    Using datareader As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader = Cmd.ExecuteReader()
        While datareader.Read()
            Response.Write(datareader(0))
        End While
    End Using
End Using

There is no need to call Close on either the connection or the datareader.

CommandBehavior.CloseConnection

When you pass above values as argument to ExecuteReader 1. there is no need to close connection explicitly connection get close when you close your reader

Just make new object of data reader after it been closed

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //SqlConnection cn1 = new SqlConnection();
        cn.ConnectionString = "server = .\\SQLEXPRESS ; database=store ; integrated security = true  ";
        SqlCommand cm = new SqlCommand("select * from emp", cn);
        cn.Open();
        SqlDataReader dr = cm.ExecuteReader();
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Load(dr);
        dataGridView1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView ;
        //SqlCommand cm3 = new SqlCommand("select * from emp", cn1);
        SqlDataReader dr1 = cm.ExecuteReader();
        listBox1.Items.Clear();
        while (dr1.Read())
        {
            //listBox1.Items.Add(dr.GetString(2));
            listBox1.Items.Add(dr1["name"]);

        }
        cn.Close();
    }

Why shouldn't you explicitly close the reader like this.

datareader.Close()

Dim Conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Conn.Open()
Try

    Dim Cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
    With Cmd
        .Connection = Conn
        .CommandType = Data.CommandType.Text
        .CommandText = "SELECT * FROM MONTH"
    End With
    Dim datareader As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader = Cmd.ExecuteReader
    While datareader.Read
        Response.Write(datareader(0))
    End While
    datareader.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
    Throw ex
Finally
    Conn.Close()
End Try
