       COMMIT - commit the current transaction

SYNOPSIS
       COMMIT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]

   INPUTS

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.

   NOTES
       The keywords WORK and TRANSACTION are noise and can be omitted.

       Use ROLLBACK [rollback(7)] to abort a transaction.

USAGE
       To make all changes permanent:

       COMMIT WORK;

COMPATIBILITY
   SQL92
       SQL92 only specifies the two forms COMMIT and COMMIT WORK. Otherwise full compatibility.
