>From [1] I think the JDBC driver sends something like below if autosave=always option is specified. "BEGIN READ ONLY" Parse/Bind/Eexecute (in the extended query protocol) "SAVEPOINT PGJDBC_AUTOSAVE" (in the simple query protocol) It seems the SAVEPOINT is sent without finishing the extended query protocol (i.e. without Sync message). Is it possible for the JDBC driver to issue a Sync message before sending SAVEPOINT in simple query protocol? Or you can send SAVEPOINT using the extended query protocol.
