NAME

       COMMIT - commit the current transaction

SYNOPSIS

       COMMIT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]

DESCRIPTION

       COMMIT  commits the current transaction. All changes made by the trans-
       action 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(l)] 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.
