exception handling in apex

Question

Hi

I have a class which will update account field and contact field if some change occurs in opportunity.

I am calling instance of this class inside trigger written on opportunity object.

I am using Database.Update statement to perform DML .

Now if an error occurs while updating the contact field, then I should roll back the entire transaction including account.

Please let me know how to achieve this.

Thanks

Pooja

Hello pooja,

Try specifying a boolean parameter allorNone along the with list of sobject to update .

For Eg:

Database.update(ListofAccounts,true);

This will rollback all the transaction in the context .

check for the following method in Database class.

update(recordToUpdate, allOrNone)

Please let us know, if this solves your problem.

Thanks
