Re: Do Postgres exceptions rise up the stack?

How about this scenario:

func A()

begin
   x  =  func B();
   y  =  func C();

   z = func D();

end

Where func A, B, C, and D all update the db.  If a funciton is raised
in func D(), will all the transactions in the other children be rolled
back?
Or do I need to add code to enable this?
