5    <code class="command">CLOSE</code> frees the resources associated with an open cursor.
6    After the cursor is closed, no subsequent operations
7    are allowed on it. A cursor should be closed when it is
8    no longer needed.
9   </p><p>
10    Every non-holdable open cursor is implicitly closed when a
11    transaction is terminated by <code class="command">COMMIT</code> or
12    <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>.  A holdable cursor is implicitly
13    closed if the transaction that created it aborts via
14    <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>.  If the creating transaction
15    successfully commits, the holdable cursor remains open until an
16    explicit <code class="command">CLOSE</code> is executed, or the client
17    disconnects.

23    <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> does not have an explicit

31    If a cursor is closed after a savepoint which is later rolled back,
32    the <code class="command">CLOSE</code> is not rolled back; that is, the cursor
