Does CI have any function to close a database connection? I want to be able to close every connection I make manually, but I have not been able to find the CI native function to do this.

Why would you want to do that?
Regardless, you can just turn off pconnect in database.php and the connection will be closed at the end of each script's execution.

uris is right, in some case mysql connection are not closed automatically even with mysql_connect (due to some bad script ending).
The method close() exists (line 1020 od the DB_drivers.php file, @access public) but not documented, so to close your database connection just use : $this->db->close();

Does this still apply to the current version of Codeigniter?
