Simple, ROLLBACK reverts DML (data) changes, not DDL (structure)
changes..
mysql> select version();

Subject: Question: InnoDB transaction and table changes
Greetings,
I created a table during transaction and was surprised to find out it
still existed after I did a ROLLBACK. The same seems to apply to changes
made using ALTER TABLE statements.
Is there a simple logical explanation to this behaviour?
Any help would be appreciated.
Demonstration follows:
mysql> SELECT VERSION();
++
| VERSION() |
++
| 4.1.7-Debian_4-log |
++
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "have_innodb";
+---+---+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---+---+
| have_innodb | YES |
+---+---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SET AUTOCOMMIT=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> DROP TABLE IF EXISTS foo;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> START TRANSACTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> CREATE TABLE foo (bar int) TYPE=InnoDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.05 sec)
mysql> ROLLBACK;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE foo;
++--
---+
| Table | Create Table
|
++--
---+
| foo | CREATE TABLE `foo` (
`bar` int(11) default NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
++--
---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
