I am experimenting with ADO.Net and EF to better understand how it handles SQL Server connections.
I found something very interesting with ADO.Net. I am creating several tasks that trigger a simple SQL script insert with proper expectation for posting SqlConnectionand SqlCommand. Nothing special here, but when 10k tasks end, all SQL joins are still hanging (I confirmed by running sp_who). The only way to clear these connections is to close the application instance.
How is this possible? I tried many things to make it close: = null data access instance + forced GC, but nothing ...
I am trying to understand this behavior, but I am failing. Any clues?
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss"));
for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
{
Task.Run(() =>
{
var dbLegacy = new DataAccessLegacy();
dbLegacy.TableBInsert();
dbLegacy = null;
});
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
public void TableBInsert()
{
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(@"Password=qpqp;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sqlUser2;Initial Catalog=DatabaseA;Data Source=VM2HOSTNAME\VM2INSTANCEA"))
{
using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("DatabaseBInsert", connection))
{
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.Parameters.Add("ColAInt", SqlDbType.Int);
command.Parameters[0].Value = (new Random()).Next(0, 5000);
command.Parameters.Add("ColBTinyInt", SqlDbType.TinyInt);
command.Parameters[1].Value = (new Random()).Next(1, 255);
command.Parameters.Add("ColCVarchar", SqlDbType.VarChar);
command.Parameters[2].Value = Convert.ToChar((new Random()).Next(1, 255)).ToString();
command.Parameters.Add("ColDVarcharMax", SqlDbType.VarChar);
command.Parameters[3].Value = Convert.ToChar((new Random()).Next(1, 255)).ToString();
command.Parameters.Add("ColEDecimal", SqlDbType.Decimal);
command.Parameters[4].Value = (new Random()).Next(0, 5000) + 0.5;
command.Parameters.Add("ColFSmallInt", SqlDbType.SmallInt);
command.Parameters[5].Value = (new Random()).Next(0, 5000);
command.Parameters.Add("ColGDateTime", SqlDbType.DateTime);
command.Parameters[6].Value = DateTime.Now;
command.Parameters.Add("ColHChar", SqlDbType.Char);
command.Parameters[7].Value = Convert.ToChar((new Random()).Next(1, 255)).ToString();
command.Parameters.Add("ColINVarchar", SqlDbType.NVarChar);
command.Parameters[8].Value = Convert.ToChar((new Random()).Next(1, 255)).ToString();
command.Parameters.Add("ColJNChar", SqlDbType.NChar);
command.Parameters[9].Value = Convert.ToChar((new Random()).Next(1, 255)).ToString();
connection.Open();
command.ExecuteScalar();
connection.Close();
command.Dispose();
}
connection.Dispose();
}
