| title: ABORT |
| --- |
| |
| Aborts the current transaction. |
| |
| ## Synopsis |
| |
| ``` pre |
| ABORT [WORK | TRANSACTION] |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Description<a id="abort__section3"></a> |
| |
| `ABORT` rolls back the current transaction and causes all the updates made by the transaction to be discarded. This command is identical in behavior to the standard SQL command `ROLLBACK`, and is present only for historical reasons. |
| |
| ## Parameters<a id="abort__section4"></a> |
| |
| WORK |
| TRANSACTION |
| Optional key words. They have no effect. |
| |
| ## Notes<a id="abort__section5"></a> |
| |
| Use `COMMIT` to successfully terminate a transaction. |
| |
| Issuing `ABORT` when not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will provoke a warning message. |
| |
| ## Compatibility |
| |
| This command is a HAWQ extension present for historical reasons. ROLLBACK is the equivalent standard SQL command. |
