CLOSE

Function

Frees the resources associated with an open cursor.

Precautions

  • After a cursor is closed, no subsequent operations are allowed on it.

  • A cursor should be closed when it is no longer needed.

  • Every non-holdable open cursor is implicitly closed when a transaction is terminated by COMMIT or ROLLBACK.

  • A holdable cursor is implicitly closed if the transaction that created it aborts via ROLLBACK.

  • If the creating transaction successfully commits, the holdable cursor remains open until an explicit CLOSE is executed, or the client disconnects.

  • GaussDB(DWS) does not have an explicit OPEN cursor statement. A cursor is considered open when it is declared. You can see all available cursors by querying the pg_cursors system view.

Syntax
