Does an error during a transaction invalidate the transaction?

eg

  BEGIN
  SomeQueryThatSucceeds
  SomeQueryThatFails
  SomeOtherQueryThatSucceeds
  COMMIT

Will the transaction successfully COMMIT, or will the COMMIT fail?

Translation: Do I need to monitor for error conditions during a
transaction and manually do the ROLLBACK in those cases?
