Term: ROLLBACK
Definition:
In Oracle PL/SQL, ROLLBACK is a TCL (Transaction Control Language) command, which is used as
"undo" feature in SQL. If a transaction or set of transactions has been done on a set of table data,
it can be reverted in the same session using the ROLLBACK command.
Example Syntax:
SQL> ROLLBACK;
Example Usage:
The SELECT below statement shows the current data in the TEST table:
SQL> SELECT * FROM TEST;
ID NAME LNAME
---------- -------------------- ----------
1 CLUB ORACLE
2 SCOTT HR
The INSERT statement below inserts a new record into the TEST table, and the SELECT statement confirms the
insertion of the new record:
SQL> INSERT INTO TEST VALUES (3,'PSOUG','ORACLE');
1 row created.
SQL> SELECT * FROM TEST;
ID NAME LNAME
---------- -------------------- ----------
1 CLUB ORACLE
2 SCOTT HR
3 PSOUG ORACLE
The ROLLBACK command is now executed to revert back the last set of transactions done on the table:
SQL> ROLLBACK;
Rollback complete.
SQL> SELECT * FROM TEST;
