SQL refers to Structured Query Language, a kind of language used to access, update and manipulate database. In SQL, ROLLBACK is a command that causes all data changes since the last START TRANSACTION or BEGIN to be discarded by the relational database management systems (RDBMS), so that the state of the data is "rolled back" to the way it was before those changes were made.
Commit/Rollback: If there is no conflict, make all changes take effect. If there is a conflict, resolve it, typically by aborting the transaction, although other resolution schemes are possible. If there is a conflict, resolve it, typically by aborting the transaction, although other resolution schemes are possible.
A commit is an act of committing. The record of commits is called the commit log. In terms of transactions, the opposite of commit is to discard the tentative changes of a transaction, a rollback. The transaction, commit and rollback concepts are key to the ACID property of databases. [1]
For systems without a commit/rollback mechanism available, one can undo a failed transaction with a compensating transaction, which will bring the system back to its initial state. Typically, this is only a workaround which has to be implemented manually and cannot guarantee that the system always ends in a consistent state.
Part of the transaction log containing transactions completed by COMMIT or ROLLBACK. Because all relational databases contains, by definition, a transaction log (most of the time based on the [ARIES algorithm [Algorithms for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics]]), the log, which is a binary file, is divided into three parts, sequentially:
In database systems, durability is the ACID property that guarantees that the effects of transactions that have been committed will survive permanently, even in cases of failures, [1] including incidents and catastrophic events. For example, if a flight booking reports that a seat has successfully been booked, then the seat will remain booked ...
The USGA and R&A, the golf world’s governing bodies, are expected to introduce new rules this week mandating a “rollback” of golf ball distances, a rollback that would affect every single ...
All changes made after a savepoint has been declared can be undone by issuing a ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT name command. Issuing RELEASE SAVEPOINT name will cause the named savepoint to be discarded, but will not otherwise affect anything. Issuing the commands ROLLBACK or COMMIT will also discard any savepoints created since the start of the main ...
