    <term><replaceable class="parameter">transaction_id</replaceable></term>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      The transaction identifier of the transaction that is to be

  <title>Notes</title>

  <para>
   To roll back a prepared transaction, you must be either the same user that
   executed the transaction originally, or a superuser.  But you do not
   have to be in the same session that executed the transaction.
  </para>

  <para>
   This command cannot be executed inside a transaction block. The prepared
   transaction is rolled back immediately.
  </para>

  <para>
   All currently available prepared transactions are listed in the
   <link linkend="view-pg-prepared-xacts"><structname>pg_prepared_xacts</structname></link>
   system view.
  </para>
 </refsect1>

 <refsect1 id="sql-rollback-prepared-examples">
  <title>Examples</title>
  <para>
   Roll back the transaction identified by the transaction
   identifier <literal>foobar</literal>:

ROLLBACK PREPARED 'foobar';

 <refsect1>
  <title>Compatibility</title>

  <para>
   <command>ROLLBACK PREPARED</command> is a
   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> extension.  It is intended for use by
   external transaction management systems, some of which are covered by
   standards (such as X/Open XA), but the SQL side of those systems is not
   standardized.
