Dear Everybody!


See this sampe:

StartTrans;
try
    Update1;
    Insert1;
    Update2; // this cause error f.e.
    Commit;
except
    AnyChecks;
    Rollback;

When Update2 causes error, AnyChecks comes.

In other databases I can do anything in that point, because Update and Insert 1 stored in the database, and the transaction is on.
May I choose to commit. The control is mine.

In PG it's seems to be different. PG silently rollback the actual transaction.
My client controls, my client libraries, my client users believe that changes were sent.

My client library lies that I'm "InTransaction", and in same transaction I started(?). Every statement creates error message.
I think it's a little bit problematic.  This is not under my control.
In AutoCommit mode ok, because it must drop the last modification, but here no, I think.

Please help me a little: have I got any way to disable this mode, or turn it on/off?

MS:
If a run-time statement error (such as a constraint violation) occurs in a batch, the default behavior in the Database Engine is to roll back only the statement that generated the error. You can change this behavior using the SET XACT_ABORT statement. After SET XACT_ABORT ON is executed, any run-time statement error causes an automatic rollback of the current transaction. Compile errors, such as syntax errors, are not affected by SET XACT_ABORT. For more information, see SET XACT_ABORT (Transact-SQL).

Thanks for your help!
