The RollbackTransaction method ends a unit of work explicitly opened by a corresponding BeginTransaction method call, discarding any change(s) applied within the work unit.
object.RollbackTransaction( [ SavePoint ] )
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list |
| SavePoint | Optional. A string identifying a save point in the transaction. |
Use the BeginTransaction, CommitTransaction, and RollbackTransaction methods to implement application-defined transaction units.
When unqualified by the optional argument, the RollbackTransaction method undoes an entire transaction. Use the SaveTransaction method to set transaction midpoints, then specify the most recent midpoint in the SavePoint argument to undo only those changes applied after the point in the transaction. For more information, see SaveTransaction Method.
Note SQL-DMO implements objects that can be used to automate Microsoft® SQL Server™ administration. Most administrative functions use data definition language (DDL) statements for their implementation. Generally, application-defined transaction units are not respected by DDL. Where SQL Server does not implement transaction space for DDL, SQL-DMO does not extend DDL by defining a transaction space.
In general, use the BeginTransaction, CommitTransaction, and RollbackTransaction methods only when submitting Transact-SQL command batches for execution by using methods such as ExecuteImmediate. It is suggested that you do not leave transaction units open, but either commit or roll back the unit when the command batch execution method is complete.
