Prepared Statements not getting closed

[James Barajas]

Using MySQL Connector C++ 1.1.0
MySQL server 5.5

I'm having a problem with prepared statements not getting closed every time even though I explicitly close the prepared statement in my method.
The method gets called back-to-back three times every 50ms.
When it is called back-to-back, the prepared statement only gets closed once out of the three times. so eventually I get an exception that I have exceeded the maximum number of prepared statements.

query: show global status like '%Com_Stmt%'; confirms that only about 1/3 of all
prepared statements created get closed.

The MySQL log show the following pattern:
Prepare SELECT * FROM myTbl WHERE ID = ? and name = ?
Execute SELECT * FROM myTbl WHERE ID = '1' and name = 'John'
Prepare SELECT * FROM myTbl WHERE ID = ? and name = ?
Execute SELECT * FROM myTbl WHERE ID = '2' and name = 'Josh'
Prepare SELECT * FROM myTbl WHERE ID = ? and name = ?
Execute SELECT * FROM myTbl WHERE ID = '3' and name = 'Mike'
Close stmt
.....

so the log confirms that the statement does not get closed every time.

but when I run my program my print statements show the following pattern:
creating prepared stmt
executing prepared stmt
closing prepared stmt
creating prepared stmt
executing prepared stmt
closing prepared stmt
......
and there is NO exception thrown other then:

"can't create more than max_prepared_stmt_count statements (current value: 16382)"
after a few minutes. So I don't know what's going on.


Here is the code I'm running:

ResultSet * DBMgr::getRecords( list<string> values) {

ResultSet * res;
PreparedStatement *pstmt;
SQLString query = "SELECT * FROM myTbl WHERE ID = ? and name = ? ";
string val;

cout << " creating prepared stmt\n";
pstmt = m_mySqlConnection -> prepareStatement(query);
int i = 1;
BOOST_FOREACH(val, values)
{
pstmt->setString(i,val);
i++;
}
try {
cout << "executing prepared stmt\n";
res = pstmt->executeQuery();
cout << " closing prepared stmt\n;"
pstmt->close();
delete pstmt;
}
catch (SQLException &e) {
cout << "ERROR: SQLException in " << __FILE__;
cout << " (" << __func__<< ") on line " << __LINE__ << endl;
cout << "ERROR: " << e.what();
cout << " (MySQL error code: " << e.getErrorCode();
}
return res;
}

hope someone can advise.

Thanks!
