I read this article: http://www.utteraccess.com/wiki/Recordsets_for_Beginners, and it says that it\'s important for me to close and destroy RS\'s like this:
rs.close S

    What T McKeown says is absolutely right

    Depending the type of ADODB.Recordset you are returning you can end up with some unnecessary overheads. The purpose of Call rs.Close() is remove these overheads that for most data retrieval purposes are not required.

    Take this example, with the connection defined at the start of the page it lives for the entire life of the page.

    Dim conn, conn_string, rs
    
    conn_string = "some connection string to your database"
    
    'Memory allocated for ADODB.Connection object
    Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    'Connection opened to data source (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL etc)
    Call conn.Open()
    
    Set rs = conn.Execute("SELECT * FROM [sometable]")
    Do While Not rs.EOF
      'Long running page (do some processing)
      Call rs.MoveNext()
    Loop
    
    'Remove any locks on the tables and dis-associate connection
    Call rs.Close()
    'Deallocate ADODB.Recordset from memory
    Set rs = Nothing
    
    'Connection is still open and needs to be closed
    Call conn.Close()
    'Connection closed but still allocated in memory
    Set conn = Nothing
    

    Over the years I found that working with arrays to display data is far more efficient and saves on the overheads of the ADODB objects.

    Dim conn, conn_string, rs, cmd, data
    
    conn_string = "some connection string to your database"
    
    'Memory allocated for ADODB.Command object
    Set cmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    With cmd
      'Connection allocated when ADODB.Command is run and only
      'lasts for the life of ADODB.Command object.
      .ActiveConnection = conn_string
      .CommandType = adCmdText
      .CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [sometable]"
      'Allocate memory for ADODB.Recordset
      Set rs = .Execute()
      'Use .GetRows() to build a two dimensional array 
      'containing the ADODB.Recordset data.
      If Not rs.EOF Then data = rs.GetRows()
      Call rs.Close()
      'Deallocate memory for ADODB.Recordset
      Set rs = Nothing
    End with
    'Deallocate ADODB.Command which closes and de-allocates
    'the associated  ADODB.Connection.
    Set cmd = Nothing
    
    'All ADODB objects have been deallocated rest of the page can run
    'without them using the array to iterate through the data.
    If IsArray(data) Then
      'Long running page (do some processing)
    End If
    

    For more infomation on working with data in Arrays see this answer to another question, the examples given contain examples of iterating through your data using an Array.

    rs.close cleans up the resources that are used internally, however because ASP is a single process that doesn't have any GC the Set rs = Nothing aids in the clean up.

    It de-references your objects, without it you'll have a memory leak. nice isn't it?
