Nested Transactions/Savepoints
Hi,
I may be a little off -topic asking this here, but then i thought you
are the guys working on the bleeding edge and can provide me better
insight.
My query is-
When can we see Savepoints and Nested Transactions in postgresql
officially in a stable release?
AFAIK in 7.3 release savepoints and nested transactions are not allowed,
plz correct me if i am wrong.
Also can hackers point me to some resource regarding the latest work
being done in this area and its current status.
Thanks a lot
regards

Certainly not soon. Manfred Koizar and I are doing some work on this
area that we expect to have ready for the 7.5 release. Work stopped
some time before the 7.4 feature freeze and has only recently started
again.

There are no public resources available, only some patches posted in the
pgsql-patches list; but the latest versions have only travelled privately
between Manfred and me. The status is "there's a lot to do yet" but I
think we are getting closer.
