# ABORT

### ABORT

ABORT — abort the current transaction

### Synopsis

```

ABORT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ]
```

### Description

`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`](/reference/sql-commands/sql-rollback.md), and is present only for historical reasons.

### Parameters

`WORK`\
`TRANSACTION` : Optional key words. They have no effect.

`AND CHAIN` : If `AND CHAIN` is specified, a new transaction is immediately started with the same transaction characteristics (see [`SET TRANSACTION`](/reference/sql-commands/sql-set-transaction.md)) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new transaction is started.

### Notes

Use [`COMMIT`](/reference/sql-commands/sql-commit.md) to successfully terminate a transaction.

Issuing `ABORT` outside of a transaction block emits a warning and otherwise has no effect.

### Examples

To abort all changes:

```

ABORT;
```

### Compatibility

This command is a PostgreSQL extension present for historical reasons. `ROLLBACK` is the equivalent standard SQL command.

### See Also

[BEGIN](/reference/sql-commands/sql-begin.md), [COMMIT](/reference/sql-commands/sql-commit.md), [ROLLBACK](/reference/sql-commands/sql-rollback.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.postgresql.tw/reference/sql-commands/sql-abort.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
