Обсуждение: Behavior of identically-named savepoints

The SAVEPOINT documentation says that a new savepoint created with the
same name as an existing savepoint masks but does not destroy the old
savepoint, and rolling back to the savepoint will then make the old
savepoint available for RELEASE SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT
calls. 8.3.5 and my 8.4devel (built a few days ago) don't follow this
behavior, as demonstrated with the attached script. Unless, of course,
I'm missing something.

Yep, I was missing something. I didn't realize ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT
didn't destroy the newer savepoint like RELEASE SAVEPOINT does. Adding
RELEASE SAVEPOINT calls to my test script makes it work as I'd expect.
Sorry for the noise.
