COMMIT(7)

✨ COMMIT(7) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the COMMIT page — it's COMMIT(7) from the PostgreSQL 16.15 docs and honestly it's giving "short but powerful" main character energy 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

COMMIT — the way you tell your current transaction "okay babe, you're done, lock it in" 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

COMMIT [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ AND [ NO ] CHAIN ]

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So COMMIT commits the current transaction. That's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

Every change that transaction made becomes visible to everyone else, and it's guaranteed to be durable if a crash occurs — like, crash-proof, no cap, your data survives 🔥

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• WORK
• TRANSACTION — optional key words, bestie. They literally have no effect. Decorative. Iconic. Zero notes 🙈
• AND CHAIN — if you specify AND CHAIN, a brand new transaction starts immediately with the same transaction characteristics as the one you just finished (see SET TRANSACTION (SET_TRANSACTION(7))). If you don't specify it, no new transaction is started. Simple as that 🫶

---

⭐ NOTES ⭐

Use ROLLBACK(7) to abort a transaction — different vibe, different outcome 😭

Issuing COMMIT when you're not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will provoke a warning message. And COMMIT AND CHAIN when you're not inside a transaction? That's an error. Full stop. 💀

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

To commit the current transaction and make all changes permanent:

COMMIT;

that's the whole example. short king 👑

---

💖 COMPATIBILITY 💖

The command COMMIT conforms to the SQL standard 🎉 The form COMMIT TRANSACTION is a PostgreSQL extension — so it's a little extra, but it's our extra 🧚
