### Function Details

     void close_db(Db *pdb)

Close pdb regardless of reference count.

You must make sure pdb is not used by others before calling this method. You can close the underlying database of a container and assign another database with right configurations to it, if the configuration is not suitable for the container, there will be an InvalidArgumentException type of exception thrown. You can't use the container after you called close_db and before setting another valid database handle to the container via db_container::set_db_handle() function.

#### Parameters

##### pdb

The database handle to close.

### Group: Functions to close database/environments.

Normally you don't have to close any database or environment handles, they will be closed automatically.

Though you still have the following API to close them.

### Class
