# DISCARD

### DISCARD

DISCARD — discard session state

### Synopsis

```

DISCARD { ALL | PLANS | SEQUENCES | TEMPORARY | TEMP }
```

### Description

`DISCARD` releases internal resources associated with a database session. This command is useful for partially or fully resetting the session's state. There are several subcommands to release different types of resources; the `DISCARD ALL` variant subsumes all the others, and also resets additional state.

### Parameters

`PLANS` : Releases all cached query plans, forcing re-planning to occur the next time the associated prepared statement is used.

`SEQUENCES` : Discards all cached sequence-related state, including `currval()`/`lastval()` information and any preallocated sequence values that have not yet been returned by `nextval()`. (See [CREATE SEQUENCE](/reference/sql-commands/sql-createsequence.md) for a description of preallocated sequence values.)

`TEMPORARY` or `TEMP` : Drops all temporary tables created in the current session.

`ALL` : 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:

````
```

CLOSE ALL;
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION DEFAULT;
RESET ALL;
DEALLOCATE ALL;
UNLISTEN *;
SELECT pg_advisory_unlock_all();
DISCARD PLANS;
DISCARD TEMP;
DISCARD SEQUENCES;
```
````

### Notes

`DISCARD ALL` cannot be executed inside a transaction block.

### Compatibility

`DISCARD` is a PostgreSQL extension.

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-discard.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.
