for a unit of work, the database connection should be a singleton let's say you want to load all "products" from a table and all "news" to display in the same page. the classes that have to load "products" and "news" requires a connection. If you make the connection a singleton, then you will not open 2 connections.

Thanks for your reply. But connection to the database is a general example and I have a SQL helper class already for it. Can you please give another example? A high level description is enough. Thanks, Zamsheer
