Why is it important to close the data stream after extracting information using JPA?

Closing data streams after extracting information using JPA is important for the following reasons:

• Resource release: Streams can hold system resources (such as database connections, file descriptors). Closing them releases these resources for other processes.

• Preventing memory leaks: If streams are not closed, they can accumulate, causing memory leaks and degrading application performance.

• Proper completion of transactions and operations: Closing streams is often associated with completing transactions or releasing locks.

In JPA, EntityManager or Query/ResultSet are usually closed after use to ensure proper resource release.
