Can you point me to the source of that quote ? The documentation here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Connection.html does not specify anything about ResultSet closing, or completion ?
Short version is that the driver does not hold the lock past the return of the result set, so unfortunately not.
