Re: implicit rollback?

I think you must explicitly issue a "ROLLBACK" command, reason being I
once created multiple exports to different tables for one form on to
postgres DB and I noticed when I had technical glitch prior ALL exports
being executed some of my records would be missing in my other tables
whilst other tables would populated.

Subject: [NOVICE] implicit rollback?

Hello,

I have a program (PHP) that is executing a number of SQL commands as a
single transaction. At the beginning of the transaction, I have a
"BEGIN" and at the end I have a "COMMIT". If one of the transactions
fails, do I have to explicitly issue a "ROLLBACK" command, or will
postgres do this automatically because one of the commands fails?
