Usually, Zope's DA instances open a connection as soon they
are loaded into memory (from ZODB). When the instance is flushed
from cache, the connection should be closed again.

The ZODB maintains a pool of connections, each with its
own private cache. Each cache can hold a (copy of) the DA instance,
each with its database connection.
The default number of connections is 7 although the number
of threads is an upper bound if it is smaller.
