I have an application which uses SqlConnection.ClearAllPools to close all connections before dropping a database.

There is a case where a connection is still there. This connection had been created in another application domain.

So I wonder which connections are closed by SqlConnection.ClearAllPools?

  • Only the connections opened by the calling process (or AppDomain)?
  • All the connections opened by this machine?

    It closes all the connections opened by the calling process only. It empties all the connection pools which are bound to the process. Quote:

    Connection pool and connection string go hand in hand. Every connection pool is associated with a distinct connection string and that too, it is specific to the application. In turn, what it means is – a separate connection pool is maintained for every distinct process, app domain and connection string.
