SQL - Language Statements

END

commit the current transaction

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`](#sql-commit).

Parameters
==========

`WORK`; `TRANSACTION`

:   Optional key words. They have no effect.

`AND CHAIN`

:   If `AND CHAIN` is specified, a new transaction is immediately
    started with the same transaction characteristics (see
    [???](#sql-set-transaction)) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no
    new transaction is started.

Notes
=====

Use [`ROLLBACK`](#sql-rollback) to abort a transaction.

Issuing `END` when not inside a transaction does no harm, but it will
provoke a warning message.

Examples
========

To commit the current transaction and make all changes permanent:

    END;

Compatibility
=============

`END` is a PostgreSQL extension that provides functionality equivalent
to [`COMMIT`](#sql-commit), which is specified in the SQL standard.
