Rolls back a user-specified transaction to the beginning of the transaction.
Transact-SQL syntax conventions
ROLLBACK [ WORK ]
[ ; ]
This statement functions identically to ROLLBACK TRANSACTION except that ROLLBACK TRANSACTION accepts a user-defined transaction name. With or without specifying the optional WORK keyword, this ROLLBACK syntax is ISO-compatible.
When nesting transactions, ROLLBACK WORK always rolls back to the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION statement and decrements the @@TRANCOUNT system function to 0.
ROLLBACK WORK permissions default to any valid user.
