Syntax
.-TO-. >>-RELEASE--+----+--SAVEPOINT--savepoint-name------------------><
Description
- savepoint-name
- Identifies the savepoint to release. If the named savepoint does not exist, an error occurs. The name must identify a savepoint that exists at the current server. After a savepoint is released, it is no longer maintained and rollback to the savepoint is no longer possible.
Notes
Savepoint names: The name of the savepoint that was released can be reused in another SAVEPOINT statement, regardless of whether the UNIQUE keyword was specified on an earlier SAVEPOINT statement that specified this same savepoint name.
Example
Assume
that a main routine sets savepoint A and then invokes a subroutine
that sets savepoints B and C. When control returns to the main routine,
release savepoint A and any subsequently set savepoints. Savepoints
B and C, which were set by the subroutine, are released in addition
to A.
