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))) 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.
