CLOSE_CONNECTION

The CLOSE_CONNECTION procedure is used to close an open TCP/IP connection.

Syntax

UTL_TCP.CLOSE_CONNECTION (
   c IN OUT NOCOPY connection);

Parameters

Considerations

• The connection must have been opened by using the open_connection procedure. After the connection is closed, the remote_host, remote_port, local_host, local_port, charset, and private_sd fields will be reset.
• You must explicitly close the opened connection. The connection will not be automatically closed when the connection variable goes out of scope.
• If you do not close the connection before the session ends, it will be automatically closed when the session ends.
