PostgreSQL
Description
ROLLBACK
rolls back the current transaction and causes all the updates made by the transaction to be discarded.
Parameters
WORK
#[.term]TRANSACTION
# ::
Optional key words. They have no effect.
[.term]AND CHAIN
# ::
If AND CHAIN
is specified, a new (not aborted) transaction is immediately started with the same transaction characteristics (see [.refentrytitle#SET TRANSACTION]) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new transaction is started.
Notes
Use COMMIT
to successfully terminate a transaction.
Issuing ROLLBACK
outside of a transaction block emits a warning and otherwise has no effect. ROLLBACK AND CHAIN
outside of a transaction block is an error.
Compatibility
The command ROLLBACK
conforms to the SQL standard. The form ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
is a PostgreSQL extension.
