Of course this factory should be resolved any exception as disconnecting all opened connection by database.

That wouldn’t be threadsafe, but you can still do that if you want with a static property that your Services can access that’s opened on Startup in AppHost.Configure.

Also opening a new db connection is not an issue for DB providers that use pooled connections like SqlServer does by default.
