commit: commit the current transaction
NAME
COMMIT - commit the current transactionSYNOPSIS
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
- Optional key words. They have no effect.
NOTES
Use ROLLBACK [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.
