I've been searching here and MSDN looking for information about connections and trying to learn why it might be important to clean up sleeping connections coming from our web application.Our developers are using connection pooling from their web-application server farm. DBAs here are observing that particular queries are being run, they apparently return their results to the app but we find that the connection used for it shows up as 'active' but has a status of 'sleeping.' SELECT @@MAX_CONNECTIONS returns a value of 32,767.Other than just general tidiness, why would it be important to clean out those (apparently) stalled connections/sessions? It would seem like it would take a rather long time to fully consume all 32K worth.Any thoughts?
