Do DAO have connection pooling? Modern client libraries have connection
pooling, which means that when you close a connection from the code,
the API lingers on the connection for a minute, in case you would
reconnect directly. In such case, it's perfectly normal to see the
connections around.
Else, the only reason I can think of is that you had a transaction in
progress when you closed the connections, and the rollback takes a
long time. If you vie the processes with sp_who what state and active
command do they have?
