Syntax

public abstract void close() throws SQLException

Description

In some cases, it is desirable to immediately release a Connection's database and JDBC resources instead of waiting for them to be automatically released; the close method provides this immediate release.

Note: A Connection is automatically closed when it is garbage collected. Certain fatal errors also result in a closed Connection.

Exceptions

SQLException if a database-access error occurs.
