## END

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`](sql-commit.html).

## 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](sql-set-transaction.html)) as the just finished one. Otherwise, no new transaction is started.

## Notes

 Use [`ROLLBACK`](sql-rollback.html) 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.html), which is specified in the SQL standard.
