Christophe and Tom, thank you for your responses, but I'm still a bit confused. In my original email, the Test 2 case is allowing a ROLLBACK in the EXCEPTION clause without throwing an error. Is it a NOP ROLLBACK being applied to an aborted subTX, a real full ROLLBACK, or something else? Please advise.

Thanks,
Kevin Stephenson

Yeah.  Postgres doesn't have autonomous transactions (not yet anyway),
and you can't fake them like that.

A way that does work, I believe, is to set up a second session with
dblink[1] and use that to issue the autonomous transaction.  Ugly
and inefficient for sure, but if you've gotta have it...

                        regards, tom lane
