A savepoint is a special mark inside a transaction that allows all commands
|
||
|
that are executed after it was established to be rolled back, restoring
|
||
|
the transaction state to what it was at the time of the savepoint.

To establish a savepoint and later undo the effects of all commands executed

after it was established:

<programlisting>

BEGIN;

INSERT INTO table VALUES (1);
|
||
|
SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;

ROLLBACK TO my_savepoint;
|

INSERT INTO table VALUES (3);
|

|
COMMIT;
|

</programlisting>
|

The above transaction will insert the values 1 and 3, but not 2.

SQL requires a savepoint to be destroyed automatically when another
|
||
|
savepoint with the same name is established. In
|
||
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</>, the old savepoint is kept, though only the more
|
||
|
recent one will be used when rolling back or releasing. (Releasing the
|
||
|
newer savepoint will cause the older one to again become accessible to
|
||
|
<command>ROLLBACK TO</> and <command>RELEASE</>.)
|
||
|
Other than that, <command>SAVEPOINT</command> is fully SQL conforming.
