Cascading rollback

Cascading rollback

A cascading rollback occurs in database systems when a transaction (T1) causes a failure and a rollback must be performed. Other transactions dependent on T1's actions must also be rolled back due to T1's failure, thus causing a cascading effect. That is, one transaction's failure causes many to fail.
