SQL Server – COMMIT TRANSACTION

Commit-Transactions-SQLServer

It is used to permanently save any transaction into the database. Once you commit you can not rolled back the transaction.




Syntax:

COMMIT;

Note: Refer same post- BEGIN TRAN, ROLLBACK

Let’s understand with an example:

Step 1: Sample data as below:

SQL Sample Data

SQL Sample Data

Step 2: Delete all records from Students Table using BEGIN TRAN command.

Query:

BEGIN TRAN T1
DELETE Students
--T1 : is Transaction name
--Execute both query together
BEGIN TRAN with Delete Statement

BEGIN TRAN with Delete Statement

Step 3:  All records has been deleted.

SELECT * FROM Students
Select Statement

Select Statement




Step 4: Here we used BEGIN TRAN before SQL Query statement, so it holds the transaction until the transaction is either committed or rolled back.

Step 5:  Now Rolled back the transaction.

ROLLBACK TRAN T1
ROLLBACK TRAN

ROLLBACK TRAN

Step 6: check the table all records rolled back or not?

SELECT * FROM Students
SELECT Statement-2

SELECT Statement-2





Step 7: As you saw, all records rolled back successfully, now delete all records again and commit the transaction.

Query:

BEGIN TRAN T1 
DELETE Students

Step 8: Now Commit the Transaction

 COMMIT TRAN T1
 COMMIT TRAN T1

COMMIT TRAN T1

Step 9: After commit, previous deleted transaction saved successfully, now try to ROLLBACK them.
