NAME
       END - commit the current transaction

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.

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 SET TRANSACTION
           (SET_TRANSACTION(7))) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new
           transaction is started.

NOTES
       Use 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, which is specified in the SQL standard.
