Yet is't a horribly long name. Why don't you change "connect" into
"connect_to_database", "prepare" into "prepare_statement" and "do" into
"prepare_and_execute_statement"?
You should choose something short and sweet for a name. Something like
"discard". Which doesn't, at least to me, ring the same bell as
"cancel".
"no_more" or "enough_already" both consist of two words, which makes
them less than ideal. "thanks"? These all sound like jokes (which they
are, really).
