ABORT(7) PostgreSQL 18.6 Documentation ABORT(7) NAME ABORT - abort the current transaction SYNOPSIS ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ] 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, and is present only for historical rea- sons. PARAMETERS WORK TRANSACTION Optional key words. They have no effect. AND CHAIN If AND CHAIN is specified, a new transaction is immediately started with the same transaction characteristics (see SET TRANSACTION) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new transaction is started. NOTES Use COMMIT 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.
