   7   </p><p>
   8    A savepoint is a special mark inside a transaction that allows all commands
   9    that are executed after it was established to be rolled back, restoring
  10    the transaction state to what it was at the time of the savepoint.

  12       The name to give to the new savepoint.  If savepoints with the

  21    Savepoints can only be established when inside a transaction block.

  24    To establish a savepoint and later undo the effects of all commands executed
  25    after it was established:
  26 </p><pre class="programlisting">
  27 BEGIN;

  34 </pre><p>
  35    The above transaction will insert the values 1 and 3, but not 2.
  36   </p><p>
  37    To establish and later destroy a savepoint:
  38 </p><pre class="programlisting">

  43     RELEASE SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
  44 COMMIT;
  45 </pre><p>
  46    The above transaction will insert both 3 and 4.

  52     SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;

  65     ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
  66     SELECT * FROM table1;               -- shows only row 1
  67 COMMIT;
  68 </pre><p>
  69   The above transaction shows row 3 being rolled back first, then row 2.
  70   </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.170.10"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
  71    SQL requires a savepoint to be destroyed automatically when another
  72    savepoint with the same name is established.  In
  73    <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>, the old savepoint is kept, though only the more
  74    recent one will be used when rolling back or releasing.  (Releasing the
  75    newer savepoint with <code class="command">RELEASE SAVEPOINT</code> will cause the older one
  76    to again become accessible to <code class="command">ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT</code> and
  77    <code class="command">RELEASE SAVEPOINT</code>.) Otherwise, <code class="command">SAVEPOINT</code> is
  78    fully SQL conforming.
