in the current transaction.
</p><p> Destroying a savepoint makes it unavailable as a rollback point,
but it has no other user visible behavior. It does not undo the
effects of commands executed after the savepoint was established.
(To do that, see <a class="xref" href="sql-rollback-to.html" title="ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT"><span class="refentrytitle">ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT</span></a>.)
Destroying a savepoint when
it is no longer needed allows the system to reclaim some resources
earlier than transaction end.
</p><p> <code class="command">RELEASE SAVEPOINT</code> also destroys all savepoints that were
established after the named savepoint was established.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.157.7"><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 destroy.
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.157.8"><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.
</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-1.9.3.157.9"><h2>Examples</h2><p> To establish and later destroy 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></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.157.10"><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.
