Transaction Management</h2></div></div></div><p> + In procedures invoked by the <code class="command">CALL</code> command + as well as in anonymous code blocks (<code class="command">DO</code> command), + it is possible to end transactions using the + commands <code class="command">COMMIT</code> and <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>. A new + transaction is started automatically after a transaction is ended using + these commands, so there is no separate <code class="command">START + TRANSACTION</code> command. (Note that <code class="command">BEGIN</code> and + <code class="command">END</code> have different meanings in PL/pgSQL.) + </p><p> + Here is a simple example: +</p><pre class="programlisting"> +CREATE PROCEDURE transaction_test1() +LANGUAGE plpgsql +AS $$ +BEGIN + FOR i IN 0..9 LOOP + INSERT INTO test1 (a) VALUES (i); + IF i % 2 = 0 THEN + COMMIT; + ELSE + ROLLBACK; + END IF; + END LOOP; +END; +$$; + +CALL transaction_test1(); +</pre><p> + </p><a id="id-1.8.8.10.4" class="indexterm"></a><p id="PLPGSQL-TRANSACTION-CHAIN"> + A new transaction starts out with default transaction characteristics such + as transaction isolation level. In cases where transactions are committed + in a loop, it might be desirable to start new transactions automatically + with the same characteristics as the previous one. The commands + <code class="command">COMMIT AND CHAIN</code> and <code class="command">ROLLBACK AND + CHAIN</code> accomplish this. + </p><p> + Transaction control is only possible in <code class="command">CALL</code> or + <code class="command">DO</code> invocations from the top level or nested + <code class="command">CALL</code> or <code class="command">DO</code> invocations without any + other intervening command. For example, if the call stack is + <code class="command">CALL proc1()</code> → <code class="command">CALL proc2()</code> + → <code class="command">CALL proc3()</code>, then the second and third + procedures can perform transaction control actions. But if the call stack + is <code class="command">CALL proc1()</code> → <code class="command">SELECT + func2()</code> → <code class="command">CALL proc3()</code>, then the last + procedure cannot do transaction control, because of the + <code class="command">SELECT</code> in between. + </p><p> + Special considerations apply to cursor loops. Consider this example: +</p><pre class="programlisting"> +CREATE PROCEDURE transaction_test2() +LANGUAGE plpgsql +AS $$ +DECLARE + r RECORD; +BEGIN + FOR r IN SELECT * FROM test2 ORDER BY x LOOP + INSERT INTO test1 (a) VALUES (r.x); + COMMIT; + END LOOP; +END; +$$; + +CALL transaction_test2(); +</pre><p> + Normally, cursors are automatically closed at transaction commit. + However, a cursor created as part of a loop like this is automatically + converted to a holdable cursor by the first <code class="command">COMMIT</code> or + <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>. That means that the cursor is fully + evaluated at the first <code class="command">COMMIT</code> or + <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code> rather than row by row. The cursor is still + removed automatically after the loop, so this is mostly invisible to the + user. + </p><p> + Transaction commands are not allowed in cursor loops driven by commands + that are not read-only (for example <code class="command">UPDATE + ... RETURNING</code>). + </p><p> + A transaction cannot be ended inside a block with exception handlers. + </p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="plpgsql-cursors.html" title="43.7.
