<h2>Name</h2>
<p>CLOSE — close a cursor</p>

<h2>Synopsis</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">CLOSE <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em></pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id748680"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p> <code class="command">CLOSE</code> 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.
</p>
<p> Every non-holdable open cursor is implicitly closed when a
transaction is terminated by <code class="command">COMMIT</code> or
<code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>. A holdable cursor is implicitly
closed if the transaction that created it aborts via
<code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>. If the creating transaction successfully
commits, the holdable
cursor remains open until an explicit <code class="command">CLOSE</code> is
executed, or the client disconnects.
</p>

<div class="variablelist"><dl>

<dd><p> The name of an open cursor to close.
</p></dd>
</dl></div>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id748748"></a><h2>Notes</h2>
<p> <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> does not have an explicit
<code class="command">OPEN</code> cursor statement; a cursor is considered
open when it is declared. Use the
<a href="sql-declare.html">DECLARE</a>
statement to declare a cursor.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id748784"></a><h2>Examples</h2>
<p> Close the cursor <code class="literal">liahona</code>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">CLOSE liahona;</pre>
<p>
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id748804"></a><h2>Compatibility</h2>
<p> <code class="command">CLOSE</code> is fully conforming with the SQL standard.
