<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The Dbc.close method discards the cursor.
<p>It is possible for the Dbc.close method to return
<a href="../../db4-devel-4.0.14/ref/program/errorret.html#DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK">Db.DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK</a>, signaling that any enclosing transaction should
be aborted. If the application is already intending to abort the
transaction, this error should be ignored, and the application should
proceed.
<p>After Dbc.close has been called, regardless of its return, the
cursor handle may not be used again.
<p>The Dbc.close method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The Dbc.close method may fail and throw an exception encapsulating a non-zero error for the following conditions:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
<p>The cursor was previously closed.
</dl>
<p>If the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock, the
Dbc.close method will fail and
throw a <a href="../../db4-devel-4.0.14/api_java/deadlock_class.html">DbDeadlockException</a> exception.
<p>The Dbc.close method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the Dbc.close method may fail and throw
a <a href="../../db4-devel-4.0.14/api_java/runrec_class.html">DbRunRecoveryException</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls
will fail in the same way.
<h1>Class</h1>
