use jdbc/find-connection ?

improvement ?

see: http://boss-level.com/?p=96, http://gist.github.com/1177043

"Explicit connections prevent composition. So wrap all db functions in
a fn that checks if a connection exists, and only if not does it make one
that way the outermost fn that needs a db creates the connection and those
internal use it."

maybe the link could also be helpful for adding basic transaction-management.

I did this one better by using c3p0 for connection pooling.
