Commit (data management)

In

ACID transactions
. A commit is an act of committing. The record of commits is called the commit log.

In terms of transactions, the opposite of commit is to discard the tentative changes of a transaction, a rollback.

The transaction, commit and rollback concepts are key to the ACID property of databases.[1]

A

BEGIN WORK (or BEGIN TRANSACTION, depending on the database vendor) statement, one or more SQL statements, and then the COMMIT statement. Alternatively, a ROLLBACK statement can be issued, which undoes all the work performed since BEGIN WORK was issued. A COMMIT statement will also release any existing savepoints
that may be in use.
