[END(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/END/7/markdown)                             PostgreSQL 14.23 Documentation                             [END(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/END/7/markdown)



## NAME
       END - commit the current transaction

## SYNOPSIS
       END [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ]

## DESCRIPTION
       **END** commits the current transaction. All changes made by the transaction become visible to
       others and are guaranteed to be durable if a crash occurs. This command is a PostgreSQL
       extension that is equivalent to **COMMIT**.

## 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** to abort a transaction.

       Issuing **END** 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:

           END;

## COMPATIBILITY
       **END** is a PostgreSQL extension that provides functionality equivalent to **COMMIT**, which is
       specified in the SQL standard.
