<span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> supports a two-phase commit (2PC)
protocol that allows multiple distributed systems to work together
in a transactional manner. The commands are <code class="command">PREPARE
TRANSACTION</code>, <code class="command">COMMIT PREPARED</code> and
<code class="command">ROLLBACK PREPARED</code>. Two-phase transactions
are intended for use by external transaction management systems.
<span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> follows the features and model
proposed by the X/Open XA standard, but does not implement some less
often used aspects.
</p><p>
When the user executes <code class="command">PREPARE TRANSACTION</code>, the
only possible next commands are <code class="command">COMMIT PREPARED</code>
or <code class="command">ROLLBACK PREPARED</code>. In general, this prepared
state is intended to be of very short duration, but external
availability issues might mean transactions stay in this state
for an extended interval. Short-lived prepared
transactions are stored only in shared memory and WAL.
Transactions that span checkpoints are recorded in the
<code class="filename">pg_twophase</code> directory. Transactions
that are currently prepared can be inspected using <a class="link" href="view-pg-prepared-xacts.html" title="54.16. pg_prepared_xacts"><code class="structname">pg_prepared_xacts</code></a>.
