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.
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:
Each distributed transaction has an ad hoc set of TMs, the TMs to which the transaction participants register. A leader, the coordinator TM, exists for each transaction to coordinate 2PC for it, typically the TM of the coordinator database. However, the coordinator role can be transferred to another TM for performance or reliability reasons.
The transaction, commit and rollback concepts are key to the ACID property of databases. [1] A COMMIT statement in SQL ends a transaction within a relational database management system (RDBMS) and makes all changes visible to other users. The general format is to issue a BEGIN WORK (or BEGIN TRANSACTION, depending on the database vendor ...
Each transaction may consist of several individual operations yet, as a whole, it moves the system between consistent states. There are two groups of systems where compensating transaction may be applied: 1. In the context of a database this is often easily achieved using transactions and the commit/rollback mechanism. [1]
A database trigger is procedural code that is automatically executed in response to certain events on a particular table or view in a database. The trigger is mostly used for maintaining the integrity of the information on the database. For example, when a new record (representing a new worker) is added to the employees table, new records ...
Optimistic concurrency control transactions involve these phases: [2] Begin: Record a timestamp marking the transaction's beginning. Modify: Read database values, and tentatively write changes. Validate: Check whether other transactions have modified data that this transaction has used (read or written). This includes transactions that ...
A savepoint is a way of implementing subtransactions (also known as nested transactions) within a relational database management system by indicating a point within a transaction that can be "rolled back to" without affecting any work done in the transaction before the savepoint was created. Multiple savepoints can exist within a single ...
