Creates a savepoint in the current transaction. Allows to make a rollback of the transaction until the savepoint created here.

The savepoint can be liberated when necessary. This tag requires which exist previously a transaction or that the connection is not auto-commit in which case a new one will be generated from de moment of the savepoint creation (the created connections from a 'xsql-script' are generally auto-commit, for this reason it is necessary to open a transaction explicitly).

1 connection.savepoint

<connection.savepoint name='name'/>

Exceptions

SQLException

If an error of database access occurs, this methode is called during its participation in a distributed transaction, this methode is called in a closed connection or this connection object is actually in auto-commit mode.

SQLFeatureNotSupportedException

If the JDBC controller is not compatible with this methode.
