+.SH "NAME"
+DISCARD \- discard session state
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+DISCARD { ALL | PLANS | SEQUENCES | TEMPORARY | TEMP }
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBDISCARD\fR
+releases internal resources associated with a database session\&. This command is useful for partially or fully resetting the session\*(Aqs state\&. There are several subcommands to release different types of resources; the
+\fBDISCARD ALL\fR
+variant subsumes all the others, and also resets additional state\&.
+.SH "PARAMETERS"
+.PP
+PLANS
+.RS 4
+Releases all cached query plans, forcing re\-planning to occur the next time the associated prepared statement is used\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+SEQUENCES
+.RS 4
+Discards all cached sequence\-related state, including
+\fBcurrval()\fR/\fBlastval()\fR
+information and any preallocated sequence values that have not yet been returned by
+\fBnextval()\fR\&. (See
+CREATE SEQUENCE (\fBCREATE_SEQUENCE\fR(7))
+for a description of preallocated sequence values\&.)
+.RE
+.PP
+TEMPORARY or TEMP
+.RS 4
+Drops all temporary tables created in the current session\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+ALL
+.RS 4
+Releases all temporary resources associated with the current session and resets the session to its initial state\&. Currently, this has the same effect as executing the following sequence of statements:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+CLOSE ALL;
+SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION DEFAULT;
+RESET ALL;
+DEALLOCATE ALL;
+UNLISTEN *;
+SELECT pg_advisory_unlock_all();
+DISCARD PLANS;
+DISCARD TEMP;
+DISCARD SEQUENCES;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.RE
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+\fBDISCARD ALL\fR
+cannot be executed inside a transaction block\&.
+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.PP
+\fBDISCARD\fR
+is a
+PostgreSQL
+extension\&.
