ABORT

ABORT — Abort the Current Transaction

Synopsis

ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ]

Description

ABORT rolls back the current transaction and causes all updates made by the transaction to be discarded. This command has the same behavior as the standard SQL command ROLLBACK.

Parameters

WORK, TRANSACTION

Optional keywords. They have no effect.

AND CHAIN

If AND CHAIN is specified, a new transaction is immediately started with the same transaction characteristics as the just-finished transaction (see SET TRANSACTION). Otherwise, no new transaction is started.

Notes

Use COMMIT to successfully terminate a transaction.

Issuing ABORT outside a transaction block emits a warning message and has no effect.

Examples

Abort all changes:
