# 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

     dblink_disconnect
    -------------------
     OK
    (1 row)

    SELECT dblink_disconnect('myconn');

    -------------------
     OK
    (1 row)
