It's solid and held as long as the session.

That is true even in a connection pooling configuration, where the user's connection is sort-of unplugged and re-plugged to try to make best use of the finite number of connection sockets the dispatcher can handle. The "unplugging" does not count as disconnecting.

So, yes: the connection to a dispatcher is made when you say 'connect scott/tiger' and remains connected until you type 'exit'.
