# dblink_disconnect

## Name

dblink_disconnect -- closes a persistent connection to a remote database

## Synopsis

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

## Description

`dblink_disconnect()` closes a connection previously opened by `dblink_connect()`. The form with no arguments closes an unnamed connection.

## Arguments

`conname`

  The name of a named connection to be closed.

## Return Value

Returns status, which is always `OK` (since any error causes the function to throw an error instead of returning).

## Example

     test=# select dblink_disconnect();
      dblink_disconnect
     -------------------
      OK
     (1 row)

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