COMMIT()			 SQL Commands			     COMMIT()



NAME
       COMMIT - commit the current transaction


SYNOPSIS
       COMMIT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]


DESCRIPTION
       COMMIT commits the current transaction. All changes made by the trans-
       action 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(l)]
