IDBDatabase.close()

The connection is not actually closed until all transactions created using this connection are complete. No new transactions can be created for this connection once this method is called. Methods that create transactions throw an exception if a closing operation is pending.

Syntax

db.close();

Returns

Void.

Example

// Let us open our database
  var DBOpenRequest = window.indexedDB.open("toDoList", 4);

  // these two event handlers act on the database being opened successfully, or not
  DBOpenRequest.onerror = function(event) {
    note.innerHTML += '<li>Error loading database.</li>';
  };
 
  DBOpenRequest.onsuccess = function(event) {
    note.innerHTML += '<li>Database initialised.</li>';
    
    // store the result of opening the database in the db variable.
    db = DBOpenRequest.result;

    // now let's close the database again!
    db.close();
  }
