SQL Rollback and Join Examples

The document provides an overview of SQL rollback commands, detailing how to undo transactions that have not been committed. It includes examples of rollback usage with various SQL commands such as DELETE, TRUNCATE, DROP, ALTER, and INSERT, as well as explanations of SQL joins, including INNER JOIN, OUTER JOIN, CROSS JOIN, and SELF JOIN.

SQL Rollback:
In SQL, a rollback is a command that is used to undo a transaction that has not yet been
committed to the database. When you execute a transaction in SQL, it can consist of one or
more SQL statements that modify the data in the database. If an error occurs during the
execution of the transaction, or if the transaction is aborted for some reason, the rollback
command can be used to undo all the changes that were made as part of the transaction.

The rollback command is typically used in conjunction with the "begin transaction" and
"commit transaction" commands, which are used to define the boundaries of a transaction.
When you execute a "begin transaction" command, SQL starts a new transaction. All the SQL
statements that are executed between the "begin transaction" and "commit transaction"
commands are part of the same transaction. If an error occurs during the execution of any of
these statements, the transaction can be rolled back using the "rollback" command.

For example, suppose you have a SQL transaction that consists of several statements that
update data in a database. If an error occurs during the execution of one of these
statements, you can issue a "rollback" command to undo all the changes that were made by
the transaction. This ensures that the database remains in a consistent state and that any
errors are properly handled.

General Syntax:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
-- Execute one or more SQL statements to modify data in MyTable
-- BEGIN TRANSACTION can be written as BEGIN TRAN in short
-- If an error occurs or the transaction needs to be rolled back, use the following
command:
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION

Now, we take some examples and rollback the data: We are using this table:
create table mytable
(
id int,
sname varchar(30),
city varchar(20),
Mob bigint
);
insert into mytable values(1,'Pravesh','bengaluru',8988999);
insert into mytable values(2,'nandini','pune',877888);
insert into mytable values(3,'ruby','mangalore',99999);
insert into mytable values(4,'Jyoti','delhi',99998);
insert into mytable values(5,'anmol','delhi',989898989);
insert into mytable values(6,'soumya','bengaluru',9852452);
insert into mytable values(7,'Dhanya','mumbai',8568458);

Our table is:

Example of ROLLBACK with different commands:

1. ROLLBACK on DELETE:
begin tran;
delete mytable where id=7;

select * from mytable;

It’s not an institute it’s a Gurukul.

rollback;

select * from mytable;

Query flow: We can see here rollback works on

delete in Microsoft SQL server
begin tran;
delete mytable where id=7;
select * from mytable;
rollback;
select * from mytable;

[Link] on TRUNCATE:

begin tran;
TRUNCATE TABLE mytable;
select * from mytable;
