## dblink\_disconnect

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

*`connname`*
