Database Transaction Not Rolled Back on Error
When an operation fails partway through, previous changes aren't rolled back. Database is left in inconsistent state with partial changes. For example: charge credit card but fail to record order = customer charged but no order created.
Transaction management exists but doesn't properly rollback on all error types.
Error Messages You Might See
Partial data persisted after error
Inconsistent database state after failed operation
Transaction didn't rollback on exception
Common Causes
- Exception thrown but not marked for rollback (@Transactional with wrong rollbackFor)
- Catching exception and suppressing it, transaction commits anyway
- Method not annotated with @Transactional, each query auto-commits
- Nested transaction not properly configured
- try-catch without re-throwing prevents rollback
How to Fix It
Use @Transactional(rollbackFor = Exception.class) on method. Don't catch exceptions you can't handle. If catching, log and re-throw. Use @Transactional at service layer. Test transactions by forcing failure mid-operation. Verify nothing persisted on failure. Check transaction logs to confirm rollbacks.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How to ensure rollback on all errors?
@Transactional(rollbackFor = Exception.class). By default only rollbacks on unchecked exceptions. Checked exceptions don't trigger rollback unless specified.
Should exceptions be caught in transactional method?
No. Let them propagate so Spring framework can rollback. If must catch, re-throw after logging.
How to test transactions?
Insert data, force error mid-operation, verify nothing persisted. Check database: SELECT COUNT(*) should not increase.
