Comment (by aaugustin):

 Oracle doesn't provide `RELEASE SAVEPOINT`. (I hope you were sitting down
 when you read that.)

 This deficiency is reflected here:
 
https://github.com/django/django/commit/a4f1e48ddbc464ed0ccb9c305db721845db91d6b#L0R319.

 Possible solutions include:
 - Not counting savepoint-related statements in `assertNumQueries` —
 there's some merit in this idea, as it would minimize test breakage in the
 1.6 release, but it goes against the principle of least surprise.
 - Executing a comment eg. `query.execute("-- RELEASE SAVEPOINT ...")`
 under Oracle to keep the query counts identical on all backends,
 - Adding an `implements_release_savepoint` feature, and make the expected
 query count depend on that feature,
 - Simply make it depend on `connection.vendor == 'oracle'`.

 Thoughts?

 I'm attaching a patch implementing the last solution, because I'm lazy.
