Anonymous Savepoints == Nested Transactions This issue is whether we're going to use a PostgreSQL-specific, non-standard, syntax for NTs, or use a syntax that puts us on the road to implementing spec-compliant savepoints. Given that the functionality is exactly the same in either case, I don't see why you would want to implement syntax which is 100% Postgres-specific. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
