Right off the bat, you need to consider concurrency issues. Depending on the size of your user base and level of activity this could become a major issue. In the end, why hold an open connection for 15 minutes just to process 20-30 transactions that take 20-30ms each? Just better (under most circumstances) to open the connection, process your transaction , then close the connection. Respectfully, Joshua D.
