<p>
The <code class="methodname">DBcursor-&gt;close()</code> method discards the cursor.
</p>
<p>
It is possible for the <code class="methodname">DBcursor-&gt;close()</code> method to return <a href="../../programmer_reference/program_errorret.html#program_errorret.DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK" class="olink">DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK</a>,
signaling that any enclosing transaction should be aborted. If the
application is already intending to abort the transaction, this error
should be ignored, and the application should proceed.
</p>
<p>
After the <code class="methodname">DBcursor-&gt;close()</code> method has been called, regardless of its return value,
you can not use the cursor handle again.
</p>
<p>
It is not required to close the cursor explicitly before closing the database handle or the transaction handle that owns this cursor
because, closing a database handle or a transaction handle closes those open cursors.
</p>
<p>
However, it is recommended that you always close all cursor handles immediately after
their use to promote concurrency and to release resources such as page locks.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DBcursor-&gt;close()</code> <span>
<span>
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
