[ACCEPTED]-How to track database connection leaks-connection-leaks

When looking at the code from the SQL Server 8 side you can run the following query to 7 get a view on which queries are last run 6 on sleeping connections. (open connections 5 which are doing nothing)

SELECT ec.session_id, last_read, last_write, text, client_net_address, program_name, host_process_id, login_name
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections  ec
JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions es
  ON ec.session_id = es.session_id
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(ec.most_recent_sql_handle) AS dest
where es.status = 'sleeping'

From the application 4 side you can debug with sos.dll as described 3 in the following articles:

• How to troubleshoot leaked SqlConnection Objects Part 1
• How to troubleshoot leaked SqlConnection Objects Part 2

If you need more 2 information on how to use windbg, these 1 articles are a good intro:

The best way to tackle connection leaks 8 is to do it during testing.

You can use an 7 automated utility so that each test verifies 6 if there is a connection leak.

@BeforeClass
public static void initConnectionLeakUtility() {
    if ( enableConnectionLeakDetection ) {
        connectionLeakUtil = new ConnectionLeakUtil();
    }
}
 
@AfterClass
public static void assertNoLeaks() {
    if ( enableConnectionLeakDetection ) {
        connectionLeakUtil.assertNoLeaks();
    }
}

The ConnectionLeakUtil looks 5 like this:

public class ConnectionLeakUtil {
 
    private JdbcProperties jdbcProperties = JdbcProperties.INSTANCE;
 
    private List idleConnectionCounters = 
        Arrays.asList(
            H2IdleConnectionCounter.INSTANCE,
            OracleIdleConnectionCounter.INSTANCE,
            PostgreSQLIdleConnectionCounter.INSTANCE,
            MySQLIdleConnectionCounter.INSTANCE
    );
 
    private IdleConnectionCounter connectionCounter;
 
    private int connectionLeakCount;
 
    public ConnectionLeakUtil() {
        for ( IdleConnectionCounter connectionCounter : 
            idleConnectionCounters ) {
            if ( connectionCounter.appliesTo( 
                Dialect.getDialect().getClass() ) ) {
                this.connectionCounter = connectionCounter;
                break;
            }
        }
        if ( connectionCounter != null ) {
            connectionLeakCount = countConnectionLeaks();
        }
    }
 
    public void assertNoLeaks() {
        if ( connectionCounter != null ) {
            int currentConnectionLeakCount = countConnectionLeaks();
            int diff = currentConnectionLeakCount - connectionLeakCount;
            if ( diff > 0 ) {
                throw new ConnectionLeakException( 
                    String.format(
                        "%d connection(s) have been leaked! Previous leak count: %d, Current leak count: %d",
                        diff,
                        connectionLeakCount,
                        currentConnectionLeakCount
                    ) 
                );
            }
        }
    }
 
    private int countConnectionLeaks() {
        try ( Connection connection = newConnection() ) {
            return connectionCounter.count( connection );
        }
        catch ( SQLException e ) {
            throw new IllegalStateException( e );
        }
    }
 
    private Connection newConnection() {
        try {
            return DriverManager.getConnection(
                jdbcProperties.getUrl(),
                jdbcProperties.getUser(),
                jdbcProperties.getPassword()
            );
        }
        catch ( SQLException e ) {
            throw new IllegalStateException( e );
        }
    }
}

The IdleConnectionCounter implementations can be found 4 in this [blog post][1], and the MySQL version 3 like this:

public class MySQLIdleConnectionCounter implements IdleConnectionCounter {
 
    public static final IdleConnectionCounter INSTANCE = 
        new MySQLIdleConnectionCounter();
 
    @Override
    public boolean appliesTo(Class<? extends Dialect> dialect) {
        return MySQL5Dialect.class.isAssignableFrom( dialect );
    }
 
    @Override
    public int count(Connection connection) {
        try ( Statement statement = connection.createStatement() ) {
            try ( ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(
                    "SHOW PROCESSLIST" ) ) {
                int count = 0;
                while ( resultSet.next() ) {
                    String state = resultSet.getString( "command" );
                    if ( "sleep".equalsIgnoreCase( state ) ) {
                        count++;
                    }
                }
                return count;
            }
        }
        catch ( SQLException e ) {
            throw new IllegalStateException( e );
        }
    }
}

Now, when you run your tests, you'll 2 get a failure when a connection is being 1 leaked:

:hibernate-core:test
 
org.hibernate.jpa.test.EntityManagerFactoryClosedTest > classMethod FAILED
    org.hibernate.testing.jdbc.leak.ConnectionLeakException
