It does not undo the effects of commands executed after the savepoint was established\&. (To do that, see +ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT (\fBROLLBACK_TO_SAVEPOINT\fR(7))\&.) Destroying a savepoint when it is no longer needed allows the system to reclaim some resources earlier than transaction end\&. +.PP +\fBRELEASE SAVEPOINT\fR +also destroys all savepoints that were established after the named savepoint was established\&. +.SH "PARAMETERS" +.PP +\fIsavepoint_name\fR +.RS 4 +The name of the savepoint to destroy\&. +.RE +.SH "NOTES" +.PP +Specifying a savepoint name that was not previously defined is an error\&. +.PP +It is not possible to release a savepoint when the transaction is in an aborted state\&. +.PP +If multiple savepoints have the same name, only the most recently defined unreleased one is released\&.
