## 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/TRANSACTION/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.
