NAME
ABORT - abort the current transaction
SYNOPSIS
ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ]
DESCRIPTION
ABORT
rolls back the current transaction and causes all the updates made by the transaction to be discarded. This command is identical in behavior to the standard
SQL
command
ROLLBACK, and is present only for historical reasons.
PARAMETERS
WORK
TRANSACTION
-
Optional key words. They have no effect.
AND CHAIN
-
If
AND CHAIN
is specified, a new transaction is immediately started with the same transaction characteristics (see
SET TRANSACTION) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new transaction is started.
NOTES
Use
COMMIT
to successfully terminate a transaction.
Issuing
ABORT
outside of a transaction block emits a warning and otherwise has no effect.
EXAMPLES
To abort all changes:
-
ABORT;
COMPATIBILITY
This command is a
PostgreSQL
extension present for historical reasons.
ROLLBACK
is the equivalent standard SQL command.
