rollback - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  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.
