DISCARD DISCARD 7 SQL - Language Statements DISCARD discard session state DISCARD { ALL | PLANS | SEQUENCES | TEMPORARY | TEMP } DISCARD releases internal resources associated with a database session. This command is useful for partially or fully resetting the session's state. There are several subcommands to release different types of resources; the DISCARD ALL variant subsumes all the others, and also resets additional state. PLANS Releases all cached query plans, forcing re-planning to occur the next time the associated prepared statement is used. SEQUENCES Discards all cached sequence-related state, including currval()/lastval() information and any preallocated sequence values that have not yet been returned by nextval(). (See for a description of preallocated sequence values.) TEMPORARY or TEMP Drops all temporary tables created in the current session. ALL Releases all temporary resources associated with the current session and resets the session to its initial state. Currently, this has the same effect as executing the following sequence of statements: SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION DEFAULT; RESET ALL; DEALLOCATE ALL; CLOSE ALL; UNLISTEN *; SELECT pg_advisory_unlock_all(); DISCARD PLANS; DISCARD SEQUENCES; DISCARD TEMP; DISCARD ALL cannot be executed inside a transaction block. DISCARD is a PostgreSQL extension.
