Answer
It can lead to resource leaks and exhausted database connections.
Not closing a ResultSet can cause resource leaks, as open ResultSets hold system resources and database connections. This can lead to the exhaustion of available connections, making it impossible for other parts of the application to interact with the database efficiently. For example, in a high-traffic e-commerce site, not closing ResultSets could prevent users from accessing product data.
