finalize() is a method from java Object class, when there are no active references to an object "finalize" method will be called by Garbage Collector,
finalize method can be called once on any given object ( by JVM )

finally block

this block can be used to write code, that you want to execute in any case ( meaning irrespective of whether the try block throws some exception or not - the statements in finally block will be always executed unless and until there is a preceding System.exit() call in code)

in the coding scenarios that i have seen, this block is used release all the open connections and resources

just a prototype :

finally
{

if(Connection != null)
connection = null

if(Resultset != null )
Resultset = null
}

read the prototype as below : sorry for initial wrong way of closing connection & resultset

just a prototype :

finally
{

if(Connection != null)
connection.close()

if(Resultset != null )
Resultset.close()
}
