Rollback transaction

Purpose: Rollbacks a SQL transaction.

rollback-transaction [ @<database> ] [ on-error-continue | on-error-exit ] [ error [ define ] <error> ] [ error-text [ define ] <error text> ]

rollback-transaction will roll back a transaction started with begin-transaction.
Database
Optional <database> is specified in "@" clause and is the name of the database-config-file.
Error handling
The error code is available in  <error> variable in optional "error" clause - this code is always "0" if successful. The <error> code may or may not be a number but is always returned as a string value. <error> is allocated memory. In case of error, error text is available in optional "error-text" clause in <error text>, which is allocated memory.

"on-error-continue" clause specifies that request processing will continue in case of error, whereas "on-error-exit" clause specifies that it will exit. This setting overrides database-level on-error for this specific statement only. If you use "on-error-continue", be sure to check the error code.

<error> and <error text> can be created with optional "define".

Note that if database connection was lost, and could not be reestablished, the request will error out (see error-handling).
Examples
begin-transaction @mydb
run-query @mydb="insert into employee (name, dateOfHire) values ('Terry', now())"
run-query @mydb="insert into payroll (name, salary) values ('Terry', 100000)"
rollback-transaction @mydb
