When apache shuts down, your process ends. Any system handle in use by
your program will be released. If your database uses a socket or similar
mechanism (pipe, shared memory) for cummunications (I have yet to see a
database that doesn't), that connection will shut down as well. Result:
You will not leak database connections. Ever. So don't bother attempting
to clean that which would be cleaned up anyway.
