When all of the data changes in a transaction are complete, commit the transaction using the COMMIT command. The effect of the COMMIT command is to request the system to accept permanently all of the data changes made by the transaction. The point of time at which the COMMIT operation occurs is known as a commit point. Normal exit from an XDB utility or application program causes the system to perform an implicit COMMIT. Alternatively, setting the autocommit feature causes all commands to automatically commit upon execution. See the section Autocommit for more information.
