25P02 🐘 PostgreSQL

ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block

An earlier statement in the same transaction failed; PostgreSQL rejects everything until you ROLLBACK.

Seen on: PostgreSQL

Meaning

This is a follow-on error. Find the first error in the transaction (logs) — that’s the real problem. Code that catches an exception and keeps using the same transaction triggers this.

Common causes

  • Previous statement failed inside the transaction
  • Catching DB errors without rolling back
  • Connection pool returning a connection mid-failed-transaction

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Find the first error in the logs
  2. ROLLBACK (or use savepoints) after errors
  3. Make sure pools reset connections

Detailed fix by platform

PostgreSQL

  1. SAVEPOINT sp; … ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT sp;

How to diagnose

  1. First error — What failed earlier?
  2. Code — Rolled back after catching?
