Transaction savepoints
Using transaction savepoints with different database engines.
IBM®
Informix® IDS 11.50 introduced transaction savepoints,
following the ANSI SQL standards. While most recent database severs support savepoints, you must pay
attention and avoid Informix specific features. For
example, Oracle® (11), SQL Server (2008
R2), SAP® ASE (15.5) do not support the
RELEASE SAVEPOINT instruction. The UNIQUE clause of
SAVEPOINT is only supported by IBM
Informix and IBM
DB2® LUW.
