dbClose

Purpose

Closes a database connection and destroys any remaining queries.

Format

dbClose(db_id)

Parameters:

db_id (scalar) – database connection index number.

Examples

// Add MySQL to the list of database connections
db_id = dbAddDatabase("MYSQL");

// Configure and open the connection
dbSetDatabaseName(db_id, "mydb");
dbOpen(db_id);

// Perform database operations...
qid = dbExecQuery(db_id, "SELECT * FROM customers");

// Close the connection when done
dbClose(db_id);

Remarks

dbClose() does not remove the database connection from the list of available database connections. The connection can be opened again without repeating the database initialization and setup steps.
