COMMIT commits the current transaction. All changes made by the transaction become visible to others and are guaranteed to be durable if a crash occurs.

The keywords WORK and TRANSACTION are noise and can be omitted.

Use ROLLBACK [rollback(l)] to abort a transaction.

Usage

To make all changes permanent:

COMMIT WORK;

SQL92 only specifies the two forms COMMIT and COMMIT WORK. Otherwise full compatibility.
