Re: Functions, savepoints, autocommit = I am confused !

Me again, I've reworded it, but its still rolling back !!!

Using the code below, if I call :
select app_security.validateSession('XYZ','10.10.123.43','Z',5,5);

I get an error raised on the select that follows cleanSessionTable.
Which is fine.
BUT, Postgresql is still rolling back !

If I go back afterwards and say
select app_security.validateSession('XYZ','10.10.123.43','Z',5,5);

I get the session data shown to me again ?

CREATE FUNCTION app_security.validateSession(p_session_id
app_domains.app_uuid,p_client_ip inet,p_user_agent
text,p_forcedTimeout bigint,p_sessionTimeout bigint) RETURNS json AS

DECLARE
v_now bigint;
v_row app_security.app_val_session_vw%ROWTYPE;
v_json json;
BEGIN
v_now := extract(epoch FROM now())::bigint;
BEGIN
perform app_security.cleanSessionTable(p_forcedTimeout,p_sessionTimeout);
