<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.

<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 <command>DECLARE</command>
statement to declare a cursor.
