# DBI ---------------------------------------------------------------------

## This method used to attempt to clean up for you if it
## detected open results sets. However, different database
## drivers implement different DBI methods and this quickly
## became unwieldy. From now on, pool will not reset a
## connection's state back to a clean slate (which is not
## something to worry about unless users are explicitly
## checking out connections -- only necessary for pretty
## complicated transactions).
