dbDisconnect(conn, ...)

Arguments

conn

A DBIConnection object, as returned by dbConnect().

...

Other parameters passed on to methods.

Value

dbDisconnect() returns TRUE, invisibly.

Failure modes

A warning is issued on garbage collection when a connection has been released without calling dbDisconnect(), but this cannot be tested automatically. A warning is issued immediately when calling dbDisconnect() on an already disconnected or invalid connection.
