RELEASE [ SAVEPOINT ] <em class="replaceable"><code>savepoint_name</code></em>
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.164.6"><h2>Description</h2><p>
<code class="command">RELEASE SAVEPOINT</code> releases the named savepoint and
all active savepoints that were created after the named savepoint,
and frees their resources. All changes made since the creation of
the savepoint that didn't already get rolled back are merged into
the transaction or savepoint that was active when the named savepoint
was created. Changes made after <code class="command">RELEASE SAVEPOINT</code>
will also be part of this active transaction or savepoint.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.164.7"><h2>Parameters</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>savepoint_name</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
The name of the savepoint to release.
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.164.8"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
Specifying a savepoint name that was not previously defined is an error.
</p><p>
It is not possible to release a savepoint when the transaction is in
an aborted state; to do that, use <a class="xref" href="sql-rollback-to.html" title="ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT"><span class="refentrytitle">ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT</span></a>.
</p><p>
If multiple savepoints have the same name, only the most recently defined
unreleased one is released. Repeated commands will release progressively
older savepoints.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.164.9"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
To establish and later release 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><p>
A more complex example with multiple nested subtransactions:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (1);
SAVEPOINT sp1;
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (2);
SAVEPOINT sp2;
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (3);
RELEASE SAVEPOINT sp2;
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (4))); -- generates an error
</pre><p>
In this example, the application requests the release of the savepoint
<code class="literal">sp2</code>, which inserted 3. This changes the insert's
transaction context to <code class="literal">sp1</code>. When the statement
attempting to insert value 4 generates an error, the insertion of 2 and
4 are lost because they are in the same, now-rolled back savepoint,
and value 3 is in the same transaction context. The application can
now only choose one of these two commands, since all other commands
will be ignored:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
ROLLBACK;
ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT sp1;
</pre><p>
Choosing <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code> will abort everything, including
value 1, whereas <code class="command">ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT sp1</code> will retain
value 1 and allow the transaction to continue.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.164.10"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
This command conforms to the <acronym class="acronym">SQL</acronym> standard. The standard
specifies that the key word <code class="literal">SAVEPOINT</code> is
mandatory, but <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> allows it to
be omitted.
