56 <para>
57 To roll back a prepared transaction, you must be either the same user that
58 executed the transaction originally, or a superuser. But you do not
59 have to be in the same session that executed the transaction.
60 </para>
62 <para>
63 This command cannot be executed inside a transaction block. The prepared
64 transaction is rolled back immediately.
65 </para>
67 <para>
68 All currently available prepared transactions are listed in the
