Re: backend and getConnection

Didier,

Yes, this is required. By definition getting a connection entails opening
one. I suppose the opening of the connection could be deferred until
actually used, however there may be situations where the connection may not
be legally opened; as such it is better to know ahead of actually trying to
use it.

Just out of curiosity what behaviour did you expect?
