END(7)

📦 version 14.24, in opensuse-leap 16.0

okay bestie, welcome to END(7) from the PostgreSQL 14.24 Documentation — yes, that's the manual name, we're folding it in right here at the top 🎀✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

END — commit the current transaction, periodt 💅🔥

🦋 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. no cap, it's literally the same energy 😭👑

💅 PARAMETERS 💅

  • WORK, TRANSACTION — optional key words, and they have no effect. Like, none. Zero. Nada. 🫶
  • 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. slay ✨

✨ NOTES ✨

Use ROLLBACK to abort a transaction, bestie — that's the undo button 💅

🚨 okay so important vibe check: issuing END when not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will provoke a warning message. not me getting a warning for doing nothing 😭💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

To commit the current transaction and make all changes permanent:

END;

literally just that. iconic. 🎀

🦋 COMPATIBILITY 🦋

END is a PostgreSQL extension that provides functionality equivalent to COMMIT, which is specified in the SQL standard. so it's giving extension energy, iykyk 💫
