SPI_CURSOR_CLOSE(3)

💅 SPI_CURSOR_CLOSE(3) — bestie's guide to closing a cursor

okay so real talk, this is the SPI_CURSOR_CLOSE page from the PostgreSQL 16.15 Documentation and honestly? it's a short one bestie, we love a low-effort icon ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SPI_cursor_close — close a cursor. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void SPI_cursor_close(Portal portal)

literally one line, no options, no flags, no notes — she's uncomplicated. 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — SPI_cursor_close closes a cursor you already created, and releases its portal storage. bye bye storage, you will not be missed 💅

and here's the part that matters most, so listen up bestie: all open cursors are closed automatically at the end of a transaction. no cap. you don't have to do anything, the system handles it for you, main character energy fr fr 🌈

so like, SPI_cursor_close only needs to be invoked if it's desirable to release those resources sooner. that's the only reason to call her. she's not mandatory, she's an option — and honestly? sometimes a girl just wants her resources back early. periodt. 💜

fr fr though: this is a "nice to have", not a "you must". the transaction ending will do it anyway. don't stress 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• Portal portal — the portal containing the cursor. that's the thing you're closing, bestie. simple as that. 🍓

---

okay that's the whole page and yes I know it was short, we can't all be a 40-option epic 😭 go release those resources early if you want to, or don't, the transaction's got you either way 💅✨

sign-off time bestie: this diva right here is from PostgreSQL 16.15, dated 2026, and it goes out to all my cursor-closing girlies 🧚‍♀️🌸 — SPI_CURSOR_CLOSE(3) forever, mwah 💋
