There is no .Dispose() function for the Database object.

The OP did not show the class structure there, but I suppose the
garbage collector will handle disposing that object when he exits the
function or when the entire class is disposed (whatever the case may
be).

Only the former is possible while the later isn't.


If he simply wants to keep his database objects/connections in order,
then there is no real issue. The database object returned by
DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase() is not responsible for closing
connections, the db.ExecuteScalar() will do that.

Yes, it is very possible that Database instance doesn't need disposing...
