DEALLOCATE

Description

Deallocates prepared statements.

Precautions

  • If you do not explicitly deallocate a prepared statement, the statement is deallocated when the session ends.
  • The PREPARE keyword in the syntax is always ignored.

Syntax

1
 
DEALLOCATE [ PREPARE ] { name | ALL };

Parameters

  • name

    Specifies the name of a prepared statement to be deallocated.

  • ALL

    Deallocates all prepared statements.
