Name
CLOSE -- close a cursor
Synopsis
CLOSE cursor
Inputs
- cursor
-
The name of an open cursor to close.
Outputs
- CLOSE
-
Message returned if the cursor is successfully
closed.
- NOTICE PerformPortalClose:
portal "cursor" not
found
-
This warning is given if cursor is not declared or has
already been closed.
Description
CLOSE frees the resources associated
with an open cursor. After the cursor is closed, no subsequent
operations are allowed on it. A cursor should be closed when it
is no longer needed.
An implicit close is executed for every open cursor when a
transaction is terminated by COMMIT or
ROLLBACK.
Notes
PostgreSQL does not have an
explicit OPEN cursor statement; a cursor
is considered open when it is declared. Use the DECLARE statement to declare a cursor.
Usage
Close the cursor liahona:
CLOSE liahona;
Compatibility
SQL92
CLOSE is fully compatible with
SQL92.
