COMMIT
COMMIT — commit the current transaction
Synopsis
COMMIT [ AUTONOMOUS ] [ 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
AUTONOMOUSOptional key word that can be used when committing an autonomous transaction. For details on autonomous transactions, see Chapter 16.
WORKTRANSACTIONOptional key words. They have no effect.
Notes
Use ROLLBACK 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.
