DBLINK_DISCONNECT(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the DBLINK_DISCONNECT(3) manual page — the main character here is dblink_disconnect, and it literally closes a persistent connection to a remote database. no cap. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       dblink_disconnect() returns text
       dblink_disconnect(text connname) returns text

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

dblink_disconnect() closes a connection that was previously opened by dblink_connect(). the form with no arguments closes an unnamed connection. that's the vibe. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• connname — the name of a named connection to be closed. simple as that. ✨

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

it returns status, and that status is always OK — because any error causes the function to throw an error instead of returning. so yeah, no sneaky little error value coming back. 😭

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

first up, the no-arguments form:

           SELECT dblink_disconnect();
            dblink_disconnect
           -------------------
            OK
           (1 row)

then with a named connection:

           SELECT dblink_disconnect('myconn');
            dblink_disconnect
           -------------------
            OK
           (1 row)

bestie note: those examples are shown exactly as they appear in the original. no editing the output, no adding extra rows. 🙈
