Disconnecting a database

There are many ways to disconnect a database. For detailed information of all disconnection methods, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration.
To disconnect a database using the Data Dictionary:
1. Choose Database > Disconnect. If you have more than one database connected, the Data Dictionary displays the Select Database to Disconnect dialog box.
2. Select the database you want to disconnect from the database selection list, then press RETURN. The Data Dictionary displays an alert box prompting you to verify the disconnect.
3. Choose Yes to disconnect the selected database.
If you have more than one database connected, the Select Working Database dialog box appears and lets you select another database as the working database.
Note: If you disconnect a schema holder, the Data Dictionary also disconnects all of the schema holder's corresponding non-OpenEdge databases.
