Commit
Nocommit
Makes the database conversion permanent. When you specify the
Commit qualifier, the database is converted to an Oracle Rdb
release 7.2 database and cannot be returned to the previous
version. The default is Commit.
When you specify the Nocommit qualifier, you can convert the
database to Oracle Rdb release 7.2 and roll it back to the
previous version at a later time.
Using the Nocommit qualifier is helpful when you want to test
your applications against a new version of Oracle Rdb. In the
event that you find problems, you can roll back to the previous
version. Once you feel confident that your applications work well
with the new version, you should commit the converted database,
otherwise unnecessary space is taken up in the database to store
the obsolete alternate version of the metadata.
