COMMIT PREPARED
Name
COMMIT PREPARED -- commit a transaction
that was earlier prepared for two-phase commit
Synopsis
COMMIT PREPARED transaction_id
Description
COMMIT PREPARED commits a transaction
that is in prepared state.
Parameters
- transaction_id
-
The transaction identifier of the transaction that is to
be committed.
Notes
To commit a prepared transaction, you must be either the same
user that executed the transaction originally, or a superuser.
But you do not have to be in the same session that executed the
transaction.
This command cannot be executed inside a transaction block.
The prepared transaction is committed immediately.
All currently available prepared transactions are listed in
the pg_prepared_xacts system view.
Examples
Commit the transaction identified by the transaction
identifier foobar:
COMMIT PREPARED 'foobar';
Compatibility
COMMIT PREPARED is a PostgreSQL extension. It is intended for use
by external transaction management systems, some of which are
covered by standards (such as X/Open XA), but the SQL side of
those systems is not standardized.
