  Key Concepts: 
  Commitment control is a feature of the SAP BC-DB Database Interface that helps to ensure data integrity and consistency in a database. It works by allowing users to make changes to the database only after they have been approved by the system. This ensures that any changes made are valid and will not cause any problems with the data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Commitment control can be enabled in the SAP BC-DB Database Interface by setting the “commitment control” flag in the database configuration. Once enabled, users will be required to submit their changes for approval before they can be applied to the database. The system will then review the changes and either approve or reject them based on its own criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using commitment control, it is important to remember that it is not a substitute for proper data validation. It is still important to ensure that all data entered into the system is valid and accurate before submitting it for approval. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all changes made to the database so that any issues can be quickly identified and resolved.

  Commitment control is available in most major database platforms, including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB2. It is also available in some open source databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL.
