My reading of the spec came out as: The spec in regard to exact behaviour at COMMIT in the presence of errors is, in spec language, "undefined". The current PostgresQL behaviour doesn't violate the spec, but is also one of many possible mutually contradictory behaviours (such as not rolling back on error) that don't appear to violate the spec. Ahh well, its not like inserting explicit ROLLBACKs is that hard. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
