In a COMMIT, all the changes made by a transaction or a Structure linksubtransaction on the database instance are recorded.

·        Changes closed with a COMMIT can no longer be reversed with a ROLLBACK.

·        As a result of a COMMIT, a new transaction is implicitly opened.

In normal database operation, the database system performs the required COMMIT actions independently. However, COMMIT can also be explicitly requested using appropriate SQL statements.

Example

In a restart, the system checks which transactions were closed with a COMMIT. These actions are redone. Transactions not yet closed with a COMMIT are undone.
