What is a COMMIT statement and when do you use it?

The COMMIT statement is used to finalize a transaction by making all the changes made

during the transaction permanent. It ensures that all changes made during the transaction

are saved and visible to other transactions.

  • When to use: After the transaction operations have completed successfully and you

want to ensure that the changes are saved to the database.

Example:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;

UPDATE employees SET salary = 5000 WHERE id = 1;

COMMIT;
