Also, I disagree with your change of the wording about savepoint rollbacks. I agree that "if the savepoint is rolled back to" is a bit awkward, but I think dropping the "to" is flat wrong. The savepoint is a point you roll back to, it doesn't itself disappear when you do so. That's why the SQL syntax is "ROLLBACK TO savepoint" and not just "ROLLBACK savepoint". regards, tom lane
