+   To commit a prepared transaction, you must be either the same user that
+   executed the transaction originally, or a superuser.  But you do not
+   have to be in the same session that executed the transaction.

+
+  <para>
+   This command cannot be executed inside a transaction block. The prepared
+   transaction is committed immediately.

+   standards (such as X/Open XA), but the SQL side of those systems is not
