>Examples</H2
><P
>   To establish a savepoint and later undo the effects of all commands executed
   after it was established:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>BEGIN;
    INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (1);
    SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
    INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (2);
    ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
    INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (3);
COMMIT;</PRE
><P>
   The above transaction will insert the values 1 and 3, but not 2.
  </P
><P
>   To establish and later destroy a savepoint:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>BEGIN;
    INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (3);
    SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
    INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (4);
    RELEASE SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
COMMIT;</PRE
><P>
   The above transaction will insert both 3 and 4.
  </P

>Compatibility</H2
><P
>   SQL requires a savepoint to be destroyed automatically when another
   savepoint with the same name is established.  In
   <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
>, the old savepoint is kept, though only the more
   recent one will be used when rolling back or releasing.  (Releasing the
   newer savepoint with <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>RELEASE SAVEPOINT</TT
> will cause the older one
   to again become accessible to <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT</TT
> and
   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>RELEASE SAVEPOINT</TT
>.) Otherwise, <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SAVEPOINT</TT
> is
   fully SQL conforming.
