.SH "NAME"
SPI_rollback, SPI_rollback_and_chain \- abort the current transaction
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
void SPI_rollback(void)
.fi
.sp
.nf
void SPI_rollback_and_chain(void)
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSPI_rollback\fR
rolls back the current transaction\&. It is approximately equivalent to running the SQL command
\fBROLLBACK\fR\&. After the transaction is rolled back, a new transaction is automatically started using default transaction characteristics, so that the caller can continue using SPI facilities\&.
.PP
\fBSPI_rollback_and_chain\fR
is the same, but the new transaction is started with the same transaction characteristics as the just finished one, like with the SQL command
\fBROLLBACK AND CHAIN\fR\&.
.PP
These functions can only be executed if the SPI connection has been set as nonatomic in the call to
\fBSPI_connect_ext\fR\&.
