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, and is present only
for historical reasons.
Parameters
- WORK
TRANSACTION
-
Optional key words. They have no effect.
Notes
Use COMMIT 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.
