A COMMIT concludes a database transaction. During a COMMIT, the database system saves all the changes carried out by the transaction. The system can no longer use a ROLLBACK to reverse any changes that are completed by a COMMIT.
After a COMMIT, the database system releases all locks that have been allocated to the transaction and implicitly opens a new transaction.
