ROLLBACK

ROLLBACK — Abort the current transaction

Synopsis

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

Description

ROLLBACK rolls back the current transaction and causes all updates made by the transaction to be discarded.

Parameters

WORK

TRANSACTION

Optional keywords with no effect.

AND CHAIN

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

Notes

Use COMMIT to successfully terminate a transaction.

Issuing ROLLBACK outside a transaction block will issue a warning and have no effect. ROLLBACK AND CHAIN outside a transaction block is an error.

Examples

-- To abort all changes:

ROLLBACK;
