NAME¶

COMMIT - commit the current transaction

SYNOPSIS¶

COMMIT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]

DESCRIPTION¶

COMMIT commits the current transaction. All changes made by the transaction become visible to others and are guaranteed to be durable if a crash occurs.

PARAMETERS¶

WORK, TRANSACTION

NOTES¶

Use ROLLBACK(7) to abort a transaction.

Issuing COMMIT when not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will provoke a warning message.

EXAMPLES¶

To commit the current transaction and make all changes permanent:

COMMIT;

COMPATIBILITY¶

The SQL standard only specifies the two forms COMMIT and COMMIT WORK. Otherwise, this command is fully conforming.

SEE ALSO¶

BEGIN(7), ROLLBACK(7)
