6 CLOSE - close a cursor
7
9 CLOSE { name | ALL }
10
12 CLOSE frees the resources associated with an open cursor. After the
13 cursor is closed, no subsequent operations are allowed on it. A cursor
14 should be closed when it is no longer needed.
15
16 Every non-holdable open cursor is implicitly closed when a transaction
17 is terminated by COMMIT or ROLLBACK. A holdable cursor is implicitly
18 closed if the transaction that created it aborts via ROLLBACK. If the
19 creating transaction successfully commits, the holdable cursor remains
20 open until an explicit CLOSE is executed, or the client disconnects.
21
23 name
24 The name of an open cursor to close.
25
26 ALL
27 Close all open cursors.
28
30 PostgreSQL does not have an explicit OPEN cursor statement; a cursor is
31 considered open when it is declared. Use the DECLARE statement to
32 declare a cursor.
33
34 You can see all available cursors by querying the pg_cursors system
35 view.
36
37 If a cursor is closed after a savepoint which is later rolled back, the
38 CLOSE is not rolled back; that is, the cursor remains closed.
39
41 Close the cursor liahona:
42
43 CLOSE liahona;
44
46 CLOSE is fully conforming with the SQL standard. CLOSE ALL is a
47 PostgreSQL extension.
