 Savepoints are implemented in the Postgresql and Oracle backends, and
 provide a useful features to users of both.

 In addition, the framework itself wraps various calls in savepoints (e.g.
 inside django/db/models/query.py:get_or_create). This is to work around a
 Postgresql-specific oddity that the open transaction needs to be rolled
 back to a prior savepoint if it experiences a database exception.

 This oddity is not present on Oracle, so the extra savepoints are not
 required. We probably need to split the current single backend flag
 uses_savepoints into two: can_savepoint and
 needs_savepoint_after_exception.
