Christian,

   Thank you for your input. Our application will have one user running the
model, so that's not an issue. However, I agree that it's more reasonable to
open and close the connection once than remembering to do so with each read
or write. To increase our comfort level I'll flush new or changed data to
disk as the model runs.
