> Logged by: Lego Haryanto
> Email address: legoharyanto@gmail.com
> PostgreSQL version: 9.0.5
> Operating system: Any
> Description:
>
> I understand that current transaction behavior in PostgreSQL is to throw
> away the whole transaction away (rollback) if there's at least one error
> within the transaction.
>
> I believe on certain application of data replication, say, migration from
> other database source, ... this will be pretty cumbersome to support in
> PostgreSQL even though users have some conflict resolution strategy in
> mind.
>
> On the following scenario, imagine this transaction is coming from a source
> of different DB, migrating into a PostgreSQL target.
>
> BEGIN
> INSERT #1... (success)
> INSERT #2... (success)
> INSERT #3... (error or conflict/collision)
> INSERT #4... (success)
> COMMIT;
>
> Current behavior of PostgreSQL is that the INSERT #4 command is ignored
> because of the error on INSERT #3 (subsequent commands are ignored).
>
> And the COMMIT command is accepted as ROLLBACK, which we can argue it's
> misleading because user does an explicit COMMIT, but the actual action is a
> rollback.
>
> Can we actually support honoring the successful DMLs above, and do the
> actual COMMIT that is inserting #1, #2, and #4 in above example?
