end(7)

end7

Commit the current transaction

Usage

END [ WORK | TRANSACTION ]

Overview

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 [commit(7)].

Parameters

WORK
TRANSACTION

Optional key words. They have no effect.

Notes

Use ROLLBACK [rollback(7)] 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 [commit(7)], which is specified in the SQL standard.
