COMMIT(7)							   SQL Commands 							 COMMIT(7)

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.

SEE ALSO
       BEGIN [begin(7)], ROLLBACK [rollback(7)]
