下麵是利用setSavepoint和事務教學描述回滾的例子。

基於對環境和數據庫安裝在前麵的章節中做此示例代碼已經解釋。

複製下麵的例子JDBCExample.java，編譯並運行，如下所示：

//STEP 1. Import required packages
import java.sql.*;

public class JDBCExample {
   // JDBC driver name and database URL
   static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";  
   static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/EMP";

   //  Database credentials
   static final String USER = "username";
   static final String PASS = "password";
   
public static void main(String[] args) {
   Connection conn = null;
   Statement stmt = null;
   try{
      //STEP 2: Register JDBC driver
      Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

      //STEP 3: Open a connection
      System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
      conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USER,PASS);

      //STEP 4: Set auto commit as false.
      conn.setAutoCommit(false);

      //STEP 5: Execute a query to delete statment with
      // required arguments for RS example.
      System.out.println("Creating statement...");
      stmt = conn.createStatement();

	  //STEP 6: Now list all the available records.
      String sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees";
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
      System.out.println("List result set for reference....");
      printRs(rs);

      // STEP 7: delete rows having ID grater than 104
      // But save point before doing so.
      Savepoint savepoint1 = conn.setSavepoint("ROWS_DELETED_1");
      System.out.println("Deleting row....");
      String SQL = "DELETE FROM Employees " +
                   "WHERE ID = 110";
      stmt.executeUpdate(SQL);  
      // oops... we deleted too wrong employees!
      //STEP 8: Rollback the changes afetr save point 2.
      conn.rollback(savepoint1);

    // STEP 9: delete rows having ID grater than 104
      // But save point before doing so.
      Savepoint savepoint2 = conn.setSavepoint("ROWS_DELETED_2");
      System.out.println("Deleting row....");
      SQL = "DELETE FROM Employees " +
                   "WHERE ID = 95";
      stmt.executeUpdate(SQL);  

	  //STEP 10: Now list all the available records.
      sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees";
      rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
      System.out.println("List result set for reference....");
      printRs(rs);

      //STEP 10: Clean-up environment
      rs.close();
      stmt.close();
      conn.close();
   }catch(SQLException se){
      //Handle errors for JDBC
      se.printStackTrace();
      // If there is an error then rollback the changes.
      System.out.println("Rolling back data here....");
	  try{
		 if(conn!=null)
            conn.rollback();
      }catch(SQLException se2){
         se2.printStackTrace();
      }//end try

   }catch(Exception e){
      //Handle errors for Class.forName
      e.printStackTrace();
   }finally{
      //finally block used to close resources
      try{
         if(stmt!=null)
            stmt.close();
      }catch(SQLException se2){
      }// nothing we can do
      try{
         if(conn!=null)
            conn.close();
      }catch(SQLException se){
         se.printStackTrace();
      }//end finally try
   }//end try
   System.out.println("Goodbye!");
}//end main

   public static void printRs(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException{
      //Ensure we start with first row
      rs.beforeFirst();
      while(rs.next()){
         //Retrieve by column name
         int id  = rs.getInt("id");
         int age = rs.getInt("age");
         String first = rs.getString("first");
         String last = rs.getString("last");

         //Display values
         System.out.print("ID: " + id);
         System.out.print(", Age: " + age);
         System.out.print(", First: " + first);
         System.out.println(", Last: " + last);
     }
     System.out.println();
   }//end printRs()
}//end JDBCExample

現在讓我們來編譯上麵的例子如下：

C:>javac JDBCExample.java
C:>

當運行JDBCExample，它會產生以下結果：

C:>java JDBCExample
Connecting to database...
Creating statement...
List result set for reference....

ID: 100, Age: 18, First: Zara, Last: Ali

ID: 103, Age: 30, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal
ID: 110, Age: 20, First: Sima, Last: Chug

ID: 103, Age: 30, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal
