You don't use ROLLBACK in a PL/pgSQL function. It's not supported. You
need to use an exception instead. See the PL/pgSQL documentation. A
trivial example:
create or replace function test()
returns void as
$$
begin
delete from regiondata;
raise exception 'oops, deleted the whole table';
return;
exception when others then
null;
return;
end;
$$ language 'plpgsql';
Or, more generally useful,
create or replace function test()
returns void as
$$
begin
begin
delete from regiondata;
raise exception 'oops, deleted the whole table';
exception when others then
null;
end;
return;
end;
$$ language 'plpgsql';
