E.g., BEGIN TRANSACTION; UPDATE1; UPDATE2; UPDATE3; COMMIT; If UPDATE2 fails because it, say, violates a foreign key constraint, then so be it. I want UPDATE3 to go ahead. Is this not possible, or is there an option I can use to do these kind of independent-query transactions? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
