No. We can implement savepoints on top of subtransactions, but not vice versa. AFAICS the savepoint syntax is just a shorthand for a constrained form of subtransaction --- essentially one where you can't explicitly commit a subtransaction, it's implicitly committed when you commit the parent. I don't see anything but syntactic sugar here ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
