Close Database connection

Jackie_ — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 18:31:58 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to close the database connection before running the script?

I have an SQL script that crashes JMP if there's an open connection, so I'm trying to figure out a way to close all the connections before running the script.

Thanks,

If I remember correctly New SQL Query and Open Database will close the connection after query is done.

There is not a command to close an ODBC connection established with New SQL Query() because New SQL Query() always closes the connection after performing the query.

It might be also mentioned somewhere here but I'm not sure about that https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/17.2/#page/jmp/build-sql-queries-in-query-builder.shtml#
