Description

The Abort function terminates the current transaction and augments the returned error with the associated message. Any modifications to data or schema in the aborted transaction are ignored, even if this modification took place before the abort function was executed.

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Definition and Requirements

message

String

An abort message.

Returns

An error is returned with the associated abort message.

Examples

The following query is a single transaction with three statements. The first statement creates a collection, the second statement adds an document to the collection, and the third statement aborts the transaction. Due to the transaction being terminated by the Abort call, neither the creation of the collection nor the addition of the document is present in the database.

try
{
    Value result = await client.Query(
        Arr(
            CreateCollection(Obj("name", "cars")),
            Now(),
            Abort("Reset Transaction")
        )
    );

    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ERROR: {e.Message}");
}
ERROR: transaction aborted: Reset Transaction
result, err := client.Query(
	f.Arr{
		f.CreateCollection(f.Obj{ "name": "cars" }),
		f.Now(),
		f.Abort("Reset Transaction"),
	})

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
