Jika \copy transaksi yang gagal akan dibatalkan, berikut contohnya:
t=# \! cat s07
create table trans(i int);
copy s07 from '/no such file';
t=# begin;
BEGIN
t=# \i s07
CREATE TABLE
psql:s07:2: ERROR: could not open file "/no such file" for reading: No such file or directory
t=# select * from trans;
ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block
t=# end;
ROLLBACK
