In a procedure called from the top level or an anonymous code block
(DO
command) called from the top level it is possible to
control transactions. To commit the current transaction, call
plpy.commit()
. To roll back the current transaction,
call plpy.rollback()
. (Note that it is not possible to
run the SQL commands COMMIT
or
ROLLBACK
via plpy.execute
or
similar. It has to be done using these functions.) After a transaction is
ended, a new transaction is automatically started, so there is no separate
function for that.
Here is an example:
CREATE PROCEDURE transaction_test1() LANGUAGE plpythonu AS $$ for i in range(0, 10): plpy.execute("INSERT INTO test1 (a) VALUES (%d)" % i) if i % 2 == 0: plpy.commit() else: plpy.rollback() $$; CALL transaction_test1();
Transactions cannot be ended when an explicit subtransaction is active.
