Description
</TITLE>
<para>
BEGIN begins a user transaction which PostgreSQL will
guarantee is serialisable with respect to all concurrently
executing transactions. PostgreSQL uses two-phase locking
to perform this task. If the transaction is committed,
PostgreSQL will ensure either that all updates are done orelse
that none of
them are done. Transactions have the standard ACID
(atomic, consistent, isolatable, and durable) property.

a ROLLBACK statement.
