Closes databases, including their tables and indexes.

Syntax

CLOSE DATABASES [<database name list>]

<database name list>

The list of database names, separated by commas. If no list is specified, all open databases are closed.

Description

Closing a database closes all the open tables in the database, including all the index, memo, and other associated files. For the default database, which gives access to DBF and DB tables, this means all open tables in all work areas.

CLOSE DATABASES only closes those tables opened in the current workset. For more information on worksets, see CREATE SESSION.

OODML
