dblink: rollback transaction

[Oleg Lebedev]

Is there a way to rollback a dblink transaction?
Say, I delete some data from the remote database, but I don't want this
to be visible untill the data is inserted in the current database. And
if the insertion of data in the current database throws an error, I want
to rollback the dblink transaction, which should restore data in its
original remote location.

Thanks.

Oleg

What about doing the insert first, and then issuing the delete via the
dblink? If the insert fails and the transaction rolls back then the
deletion in the remote database will never have been done.
