COMMIT statement commits the current transaction or, when using advanced client-side transaction retries, clears the connection to allow new transactions to begin.
When using advanced client-side transaction retries, statements issued after SAVEPOINT are committed when RELEASE SAVEPOINT is issued instead of COMMIT. However, you must still issue a COMMIT statement to clear the connection for the next transaction.
For non-retryable transactions, if statements in the transaction generated any errors, COMMIT is equivalent to ROLLBACK, which aborts the transaction and discards all updates made by its statements.
Synopsis
Required privileges
No privileges are required to commit a transaction. However, privileges are required for each statement within a transaction.Aliases
In CockroachDB,END is an alias for the COMMIT statement.
Example
Commit a transaction
How you commit transactions depends on how your application handles transaction retries.Client-side retryable transactions
When using advanced client-side transaction retries, statements are committed byRELEASE SAVEPOINT. COMMIT itself only clears the connection for the next transaction.
This example assumes you’re using client-side retry handling.
Automatically retried transactions
If you are using transactions that CockroachDB will automatically retry (i.e., all statements sent in a single batch), commit the transaction withCOMMIT.
