ABORT(7)		 PostgreSQL 17.5 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 reasons.

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.

SEE ALSO
       BEGIN(7), COMMIT(7), ROLLBACK(7)
