commit(7) - Linux man page
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
- 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.
