ROLLBACK — abort the current transaction
ROLLBACK [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ]
ROLLBACK
rolls back the current transaction and causes all the updates made by the transaction to be discarded.
WORK
TRANSACTION
#Optional key words. They have no effect.
AND CHAIN
#If AND CHAIN
is specified, a new (not aborted) transaction is immediately started with the same transaction characteristics (see SET TRANSACTION) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new transaction is started.
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.
To abort all changes:
ROLLBACK;
The command ROLLBACK
conforms to the SQL standard. The form ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
is a PostgreSQL extension.
