ROLLBACK

ROLLBACK — abort the current transaction

ROLLBACK [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]

ROLLBACK rolls back the current transaction and causes all the updates made by the transaction to be discarded.

WORK
#[.term]TRANSACTION#:: Optional key words. They have no effect.

Use COMMIT to successfully terminate a transaction.

Issuing ROLLBACK outside of a transaction block emits a warning and otherwise has no effect.

To abort all changes:

ROLLBACK;

The SQL standard only specifies the two forms ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK WORK. Otherwise, this command is fully conforming.
