How can I rollback in a function ?
I mean after update has been done, I do some checking in the Function and
then decide that I want to quit and rollback all what inserted/updated in
the start of the function ?

Also if I attach trigger that check column uniqueness to an update will it
check it per updated row or at the end of the action after all the table got
updated ?
