After the cursor is closed, no subsequent operations
are allowed on it. A cursor should be closed when it is
no longer needed.
</p><p> Every non-holdable open cursor is implicitly closed when a
transaction is terminated by <code class="command">COMMIT</code> or
<code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>. A holdable cursor is implicitly
closed if the transaction that created it aborts via
<code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>. If the creating transaction
successfully commits, the holdable cursor remains open until an
explicit <code class="command">CLOSE</code> is executed, or the client
disconnects.

open when it is declared. Use the
<a class="xref" href="sql-declare.html" title="DECLARE"><span class="refentrytitle">DECLARE</span></a>
statement to declare a cursor.
</p><p> You can see all available cursors by querying the <a class="link" href="view-pg-cursors.html" title="51.68. pg_cursors"><code class="structname">pg_cursors</code></a> system view.
</p><p> If a cursor is closed after a savepoint which is later rolled back,
the <code class="command">CLOSE</code> is not rolled back; that is, the cursor
remains closed.
