This method closes the connection to the database.

Declaration

// C#
public override void Close();

Implements

IDbConnection

Remarks

Performs the following:

• Rolls back any pending local or active sessionless transactions that are not yet committed. The connection will no longer associate with any sessionless transaction or local transaction. Distributed transactions will rely on the distributed transaction coordinator on whether roll back is necessary.

• Places the connection in the pool if connection pooling is enabled. Even if connection pooling is enabled, the connection can be closed if it exceeds the connection lifetime specified in the connection string. If connection pooling is disabled, the connection is closed.

• Closes the connection to the database.

The connection can be reopened using Open().
