Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics

Closes a symmetric key, or closes all symmetric keys open in the current session.

Note

This syntax is not supported by serverless SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.

Syntax

CLOSE { SYMMETRIC KEY key_name | ALL SYMMETRIC KEYS }

Arguments

Key_name
Is the name of the symmetric key to be closed.

Remarks

Open symmetric keys are bound to the session not to the security context. An open key will continue to be available until it is either explicitly closed or the session is terminated. CLOSE ALL SYMMETRIC KEYS will close any database master key that was opened in the current session by using the OPEN MASTER KEY statement. Information about open keys is visible in the sys.openkeys (Transact-SQL) catalog view.

Permissions

No explicit permission is required to close a symmetric key.

Examples

A. Closing a symmetric key

The following example closes the symmetric key ShippingSymKey04.

CLOSE SYMMETRIC KEY ShippingSymKey04;  
GO

B. Closing all symmetric keys

The following example closes all symmetric keys that are open in the current session, and also the explicitly opened database master key.

CLOSE ALL SYMMETRIC KEYS;  
GO
