Re: Is it not possible to nest one block within another?

Hi,

I have learnt from mailing archives that nested
transaction is not possible in postgresql. I then
thought, in nested blocks, the inner block must be
having autonomous transaction (As is pragma autonomous
transaction in Oracle 8i). But I found postgresql is
able to identify only the outer begin-end pair and
just ignoring (with a warning) all other inner begin
-end blocks. Is it natural of postgresql or I am
making some mistake?

We don't supported nested transactions yet, but hope to soon.
