CLOSE_ON_ENDTRANS Option [TSQL]

ON

ON

Option can be set at the database (PUBLIC) or user level. At the database level, the value becomes the default for any new user, but has no impact on existing users. At the user level, overrides the PUBLIC value for that user only. No system privilege is required to set option for self. System privilege is required to set at database level or at user level for any user other than self.

Requires the SET ANY PUBLIC OPTION system privilege to set this option. Can be set temporary for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC role. Takes effect immediately.

When CLOSE_ON_ENDTRANS is set to ON (the default and only value allowed), cursors are closed at the end of a transaction, which is Transact-SQL compatible behavior.
