NAME

       dblink_close - closes a cursor in a remote database

SYNOPSIS

       dblink_close(text cursorname [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
       dblink_close(text connname, text cursorname [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text

DESCRIPTION

       dblink_close closes a cursor previously opened with dblink_open.

ARGUMENTS

       conname
	   Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection.

       cursorname
	   The name of the cursor to close.

       fail_on_error
	   If true (the default when omitted) then an error thrown on the remote side of the connection causes an error to also be thrown locally.
	   If false, the remote error is locally reported as a NOTICE, and the function's return value is set to ERROR.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns status, either OK or ERROR.

NOTES

       If dblink_open started an explicit transaction block, and this is the last remaining open cursor in this connection, dblink_close will
       issue the matching COMMIT.

EXAMPLES

	   SELECT dblink_connect('dbname=postgres');
	    dblink_connect
	   ----------------
	    OK
	   (1 row)

	   SELECT dblink_open('foo', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc');
	    dblink_open
	   -------------
	    OK
	   (1 row)

	   SELECT dblink_close('foo');
	    dblink_close
	   --------------
	    OK
	   (1 row)
