trusty (7) ABORT.7.gz

Provided by: postgres-xc-client_1.1-2ubuntu2_amd64 bug

NAME
       ABORT - abort the current transaction


SYNOPSIS
       ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]


DESCRIPTION
           Note
           The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.

       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(7), and is present
       only for historical reasons.


PARAMETERS
       WORK, TRANSACTION
           Optional key words. They have no effect.


NOTES
       Use COMMIT(7) 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 Postgres-XC extension present for historical reasons.  ROLLBACK is the equivalent
       standard SQL command.
