NAME
       COMMIT - commit the current transaction

SYNOPSIS
       COMMIT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ]

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.

       AND CHAIN
           If AND CHAIN is specified, a new transaction is immediately started
           with the same transaction characteristics (see SET TRANSACTION
           ([SET_TRANSACTION(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/SETTRANSACTION/7/markdown))) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new
           transaction is started.

NOTES
       Use [ROLLBACK(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ROLLBACK/7/markdown) to abort a transaction.

       Issuing COMMIT when not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will
       provoke a warning message.  COMMIT AND CHAIN when not inside a
       transaction is an error.

EXAMPLES
       To commit the current transaction and make all changes permanent:

           COMMIT;

COMPATIBILITY
       The command COMMIT conforms to the SQL standard. The form COMMIT
       TRANSACTION is a PostgreSQL extension.
