RELEASE SAVEPOINT

    Description

    destroys a savepoint previously defined in the current transaction.

    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 ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT.) Destroying a savepoint when it is no longer needed may allow the system to reclaim some resources earlier than transaction end.

    savepoint_name

    The name of the savepoint to destroy.

    Examples

    1. BEGIN;
    2.     SAVEPOINT my_savepoint;
    3.     INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (4);

    The above transaction will insert both 3 and 4.

    This command conforms to the SQL standard. The standard specifies that the key word SAVEPOINT is mandatory, but Greenplum Database allows it to be omitted.
