In my experience with PL/pgSQL triggers, yes. Like, if I do RAISE EXCEPTION
in the trigger, then the whole transaction the trigger was part of gets
abort/rollback. Some of the triggers were called recusively when the trigger
would do an update which would cause the trigger to get called again for a
different row. An exeception in any of the recursive calls of the trigger
would rollback everything that happened recursively too.
