But you still haven't committed the outer transaction: rolling it back must undo the effects of the subtransaction, no? So a "release" merely destroys the separate identity of the subtransaction and assigns all its effects (including locks) to the parent transaction. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
