Subject: PL/SQL Function: self-contained transaction?
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 14:16:30 -0300 (ADT)
Message-ID: <20050822141357.B1002@ganymede.hub.org> (raw)


In PostgreSQL, as everyone knows, a QUERY == a transaction, unless wrap'd 
in a BEGIN/END explicitly ... how does that work with a function?  is 
there an implicit BEGIN/END around the whole transaction, or each QUERY 
within the function itself?

If the whole function (and all QUERYs inside of it) are considered one 
transaction, can you do a begin/end within the function itself to 'force' 
commit on a specific part of the function?
