SPI_START_TRANSACTION(3pg16)

💅 NAME 💅

Okay bestie, welcome to SPI_START_TRANSACTION(3), straight out of the PostgreSQL 16.15 documentation ✨

SPI_start_transaction — obsolete function. That’s the whole vibe: she’s obsolete, she’s iconic, and she’s still in the manual.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void SPI_start_transaction(void)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So, SPI_start_transaction literally does nothing. Not a single thing. No cap. It exists only for code compatibility with earlier PostgreSQL releases 💖

It used to be required after calling SPI_commit or SPI_rollback, but now those functions start a new transaction automatically. So yeah, she’s giving retired-but-still-invited-to-the-group-chat energy 🫶

With love from PostgreSQL 16.15, 2026, and the SPI_START_TRANSACTION(3) page 💅🌸
