I am still no master in defining problems. :'-(


It could be short running, but I expect it could also run for weeks.


There is just one connection object and one statement object. No
leaking is happening here. Normally I have an init and a deinit
function. In the init function I create them and in the deinit
function I close them.

But I now wrote a function to log the memory usage. It is used by
calling during the initialisation of you program:
    freeMemoryThread(this.getClass().getSimpleName());

Every statement, prepared statement and resultset is consumed
immediately. That and the reason the updating is done as long as the
program is running was the reason for my question.

I rewrote the code a little so that all statement, preparedstatement
and resultset are closed after being used. So that leaves only the
connection. This is needed as long as the program is running and is in
its own tread. As it looks like there is no real problem that it is
not closed immediately before the program closes, I am accepting the
situation as it is for now.
