xenial (7) ABORT.7.gz

Provided by: postgresql-client-9.5_9.5.25-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64 bug

NAME
       ABORT - abort the current transaction


SYNOPSIS
       ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]


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


EXAMPLES
       To abort all changes:

           ABORT;


COMPATIBILITY
       This command is a PostgreSQL extension present for historical reasons.  ROLLBACK is the equivalent
       standard SQL command.
