Febs:
You want to shutdown, not reset.  Press and hold the pause/play button.

jacobts:
well, what is the diference?
unless that is where you have to do the 5-10 wait minutes there

but if not, then reseting will do the same thing

The difference could not be larger.

Menu+Select causes a reboot at the hardware level.  Like pressing the reset button on your computer.  The operating system doesn't see it coming, and doesn't have a chance to save state before the reboot.
Pressing and holding Play/Pause causes Rockbox to gracefully shutdown on Rockbox's own terms.  Just like the "Shut Down" command on your Windows computer.

So which one should the OP use to ensure Rockbox does a DataBase commit on restart?

I'm asking partly for my own knowledge, as I've never even operated an iPod, let alone seen one with RB on it  ;)

scorche:
Shutdown (holding play/pause).

Note how he used the words "doesn't have a chance to save" and "gracefully shutdown" to describe each option.  ;)
