DBLINK_DISCONNECT(3)

💅 dblink_disconnect — bestie, it's time to say goodbye to your remote database connection

Okay so real talk, this page is from the <pink>PostgreSQL 16.15</pink> docs, section dblink_disconnect(3), and it's literally just about hanging up the phone on a remote database. Clean, simple, iconic. Let's go 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

Two flavors, same vibe. Pick your fighter 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So dblink_disconnect() closes a connection that was previously opened by dblink_connect(). That's it. That's the whole thing. Closure, literally 💖

The form with no arguments closes an unnamed connection — you know, the one you never bothered to give a name to. No cap, it still knows which one you mean 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• connname — the name of a named connection that's getting closed. Say bye to that specific one, not the others ✨

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

Returns status, which is always OK. Like, always always. Because if anything goes wrong, the function doesn't return a sad value — it throws an error instead. So if you got OK back, congrats, you ate 🔥

---

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

Closing the unnamed one, main character energy:

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

Closing your named bestie, myconn:

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

Not me getting emotional over two OKs 😭🫶

Ngl, if you're expecting some elaborate return value drama, this is not that page. OK or an error. Periodt 💅

And that's the whole manual page, bestie! This lil gem comes to you courtesy of the PostgreSQL 16.15 documentation, dated 2026, and it lives at DBLINK_DISCONNECT(3) forever and ever 🌈⭐💖
