Every update and insert is wrapped in an implicit transaction. You can
however use transactions explicitly with 'begin;', you can then do
whatever sequence of updates and inserts until you give the 'commit;' or
'rollback;' command. When a SQL statement returns an error a rollback
will be issued by PostgreSQL and you would have to do the sequence
again. Next some examples from a psql session:
test=# insert into bar (foo) values ('foobar');
INSERT 15386527 1
test=# select * from bar;
foo
--------
foobar
(1 row)
test=# begin;
BEGIN
test=# insert into bar (foo) values ('barfoo');
INSERT 15386528 1
test=# select * from bar;
foo
--------
foobar
barfoo
(2 rows)
test=# rollback;
ROLLBACK
test=# select * from bar;
foo
--------
foobar
(1 row)
test=#
test=# begin;
BEGIN
test=# insert into bar (foo) values ('barfoo');
INSERT 15386529 1
test=# commit;
COMMIT
test=# select * from bar;
foo
--------
foobar
barfoo
(2 rows)
test=#
