END

END — commit the current transaction

Synopsis

END [ AUTONOMOUS ] [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]

Description

END commits the current transaction. All changes made by the transaction become visible to others and are guaranteed to be durable if a crash occurs. This command is a Postgres Pro extension that is equivalent to COMMIT.

Parameters

WORK

Notes

Use ROLLBACK to abort a transaction.

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

END;
