>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.
