  <title>Description</title>

  <para>
   <command>CLOSE</command> 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.
  </para>

  <para>
   Every non-holdable open cursor is implicitly closed when a
   transaction is terminated by <command>COMMIT</command> or
   <command>ROLLBACK</command>.  A holdable cursor is implicitly
   closed if the transaction that created it aborts via
   <command>ROLLBACK</command>.  If the creating transaction successfully
   commits, the holdable
   cursor remains open until an explicit <command>CLOSE</command> is
   executed, or the client disconnects.

  <title>Notes</title>

  <para>
   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> does not have an explicit
   <command>OPEN</command> cursor statement; a cursor is considered
   open when it is declared.  Use the
   <xref linkend="sql-declare" endterm="sql-declare-title">
   statement to declare a cursor.
  </para>
