ABORT

Function

ABORT rolls back the current transaction and cancels the changes in the transaction.

This command is equivalent to ROLLBACK, and is present only for historical reasons. Now ROLLBACK is recommended.

Precautions

ABORT has no impact outside a transaction, but will throw a NOTICE message.

Syntax

ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] ;

Parameter Description

WORK | TRANSACTION

Specifies an optional keyword, which has no effect except increasing readability.
