To roll back a transaction in JDBC, you can use the rollback() method of the Connection object. The specific steps are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Firstly, make sure to set the auto commit to false when creating the Connection object, like connection.setAutoCommit(false).<\/li>\n
  2. Before executing the SQL statement, it is necessary to start a transaction, which can be done by using connection.setAutoCommit(false) to disable auto-commit.<\/li>\n
  3. When an exception occurs or a transaction needs to be rolled back, call the connection.rollback() method to rollback.<\/li>\n
  4. You can call the connection.commit() method if you need to manually submit the transaction.<\/li>\n
  5. Lastly, remember to call connection.setAutoCommit(true) to set auto-commit back to true before closing the Connection object.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here is an example code:<\/p>\n
