+.SH "NAME"
+ROLLBACK_TO_SAVEPOINT \- roll back to a savepoint
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+ROLLBACK [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] TO [ SAVEPOINT ] \fIsavepoint_name\fR
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+Roll back all commands that were executed after the savepoint was established\&. The savepoint remains valid and can be rolled back to again later, if needed\&.
+.PP
+\fBROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT\fR
+implicitly destroys all savepoints that were established after the named savepoint\&.
+.SH "PARAMETERS"
+.PP
+\fIsavepoint_name\fR
+.RS 4
+The savepoint to roll back to\&.
+.RE
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+Use
+\fBRELEASE SAVEPOINT\fR
+to destroy a savepoint without discarding the effects of commands executed after it was established\&.
+.PP
+Specifying a savepoint name that has not been established is an error\&.
+.PP
+Cursors have somewhat non\-transactional behavior with respect to savepoints\&. Any cursor that is opened inside a savepoint will be closed when the savepoint is rolled back\&. If a previously opened cursor is affected by a
+\fBFETCH\fR
+or
+\fBMOVE\fR
+command inside a savepoint that is later rolled back, the cursor remains at the position that
+\fBFETCH\fR
+left it pointing to (that is, the cursor motion caused by
+\fBFETCH\fR
+is not rolled back)\&. Closing a cursor is not undone by rolling back, either\&. However, other side\-effects caused by the cursor\*(Aqs query (such as side\-effects of volatile functions called by the query)
+\fIare\fR
+rolled back if they occur during a savepoint that is later rolled back\&. A cursor whose execution causes a transaction to abort is put in a cannot\-execute state, so while the transaction can be restored using
+\fBROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT\fR, the cursor can no longer be used\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+To undo the effects of the commands executed after
+my_savepoint
+was established:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.PP
+Cursor positions are not affected by savepoint rollback:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+BEGIN;
+
+DECLARE foo CURSOR FOR SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2;
+
+SAVEPOINT foo;
+
+FETCH 1 FROM foo;
+ ?column?
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+ 1
+
+ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT foo;
+
+FETCH 1 FROM foo;
+ ?column?
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+ 2
+
+COMMIT;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.PP
+The
+SQL
+standard specifies that the key word
+SAVEPOINT
+is mandatory, but
+PostgreSQL
+and
+Oracle
+allow it to be omitted\&. SQL allows only
+WORK, not
+TRANSACTION, as a noise word after
+ROLLBACK\&. Also, SQL has an optional clause
+AND [ NO ] CHAIN
+which is not currently supported by
+PostgreSQL\&. Otherwise, this command conforms to the SQL standard\&.
