Caution: This statement is not subject to transaction logic. An implicit COMMIT will be performed after successful execution of this statement. If an error is detected during execution of this statement, an implicit ROLLBACK will be performed. Therefore, before executing this statement, it is strongly recommended to complete any open transaction containing INSERT, UPDATE and/or DELETE statements by issuing an explicit COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement.
