Shame on me, I did forgot to have enabled that in my ~/.psqlrc file (and did not hit an error within the transaction block to see it was aborting). And in fact, the manual page for psql reports that ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK: The error rollback mode works by issuing an implicit SAVEPOINT for you, just before each command that is in a transaction block, and then rolling back to the savepoint if the command fails. Sorry for the noise. Thanks, Luca -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
