DROP CONNECTION Statement

Drops any user connection to the database.

Syntax

DROP CONNECTION connection-id

Examples

Example 1 – Drop connection with ID number 4:
```
DROP CONNECTION 4
```

Usage

DROP CONNECTION disconnects a user from the database by dropping the connection to the database. You cannot drop your current connection; you must first create another connection, then drop your first connection.

The connection-id for the connection is obtained using the connection_property function to request the connection number. This statement returns the connection ID of the current connection:

SELECT connection_property( 'number' )
