Description
</title>
<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>
An implicit close is executed for every open cursor when a
transaction is terminated by <command>COMMIT</command>
or <command>ROLLBACK</command>.
</para>

<para>
<productname>Postgres</productname> does not have
an explicit <command>OPEN</command> cursor statement;
