Thread: Transactions in PLPGSQL?

Hi All!

Are the BEGIN/END; seen in a typical PL/PGSQL function a transaction wrapper, 
or do I need to add another BEGIN/END block?

Should I just put a 'rollback' in the function, or do I need to do something 
special?

Thanks!

No, BEGIN & END in plpgsql function are not transaction control
statemens, but elements of plpgsql language.

You _cannot_ use any transaction control statemens (commit, rollback)
into plpgsql function. So all the function must be in transaction block.
