Some <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> data types and functions have
special rules regarding transactional behaviour. In particular, changes
made to a <literal>SEQUENCE</literal> (and therefore the counter of a
column declared using <literal>SERIAL</literal>) are immediately visible
to all other transactions and are not rolled back if the transaction
that made the changes aborts. See <xref linkend="functions-sequence">
and <xref linkend="datatype-serial">.
