You (almost certainly) do NOT need to call finish()

Still got the finish() habit? Let it go!

I often see people posting snippets of example DBI code that call
finish() after a fetch loop. You don't need to do that.

To quote the fine manual:

    "So you should _not_ normally need to call it explicitly _except_ when
    you know that you've not fetched all the data from a statement handle."
