<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>COMMIT</command> commits the current transaction. All
changes made by the transaction become visible to others
and are guaranteed to be durable if a crash occurs.

Optional key words. They have no effect.

<varlistentry id="sql-commit-chain">
<term><literal>AND CHAIN</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
If <literal>AND CHAIN</literal> is specified, a new transaction is
immediately started with the same transaction characteristics (see <xref
linkend="sql-set-transaction"/>) as the just finished one. Otherwise,
no new transaction is started.

<title>Notes</title>
<para>
Use <xref linkend="sql-rollback"/> to
abort a transaction.
</para>
<para>
Issuing <command>COMMIT</command> when not inside a transaction does
no harm, but it will provoke a warning message. <command>COMMIT AND
CHAIN</command> when not inside a transaction is an error.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Examples</title>
<para>
To commit the current transaction and make all changes permanent:
<programlisting>
COMMIT;
</programlisting></para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Compatibility</title>
<para>
The command <command>COMMIT</command> conforms to the SQL standard. The
form <literal>COMMIT TRANSACTION</literal> is a PostgreSQL extension.
