The JDBC interface `DataSource` has a method `getConnection()` which creates a new `Connection` every time it's called. Is it therefore better to write
```val connection = dataSource.getConnection()```
rather than
```val connection = dataSource.connection```
?

I would personally declare a method, not a property in this case. And instead of `getConnection()` , how about `connect()`? It makes it pretty clear that a new connection is created when using the verb, and it also happens to be shorter

Oh wait I just realized you don't control that class :face_palm: then yeah I would probably call the getter explicitly here...

...or declare an extension function `DataSource.connect()` to avoid IDEA warnings and make it clearer at the same time :smile:

TBH I think `openConnection()` may be a better name, since it more clearly indicates that the result can `.close()`

but yeah the original naming is unfortunate :(
