rollback

   <database> Reverting data in a {database} to an earlier state,
   usually in response to an error or aborted operation.

   In a {transaction} based database system, transactions are
   considered {atomic}.  If an error occurs while performing a
   transaction, the database is automatically rolled back
   to the state at the previous {commit}.

   Rollback may also be performed by an explicit rollback
   transaction.
