ABORT() SQL Commands ABORT()
NAME
ABORT - abort the current transaction
SYNOPSIS
ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]
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 [rollback(l)], and is
present only for historical reasons.
PARAMETERS
WORK
TRANSACTION
Optional key words. They have no effect.
NOTES
Use COMMIT [commit(l)] to successfully terminate a transaction.
Issuing ABORT when not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will
provoke a warning message.
EXAMPLES
To abort all changes:
ABORT;
COMPATIBILITY
This command is a PostgreSQL extension present for historical reasons.
ROLLBACK is the equivalent standard SQL command.

BEGIN [begin(l)], COMMIT [commit(l)], ROLLBACK [rollback(l)]
