Rollback

To rollback the transaction…

transaction do
  unless user.save && company.save
     raise raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
  end
end

Or - catch anonymous exceptions, roll back and re-throw error

transaction do
  user.save
  company.save
  x = 1/0
rescue
  exp = $!
  begin
    raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
  rescue
  end
  raise exp
end
