Jon,

If you're talking web access, on a single page it's definitely better to
login before your first query and no log out until after your last query
(within the same page, of course).

For non-web-based languages, it all depends on just how often you need
the info and what modules require it. Generally I only open one
connection and close it between user interfaces.

Just never keep a connection open while the user is contemplating his navel.
