Summary: rollback to savepoint in case of error

Initial Comment:
the current snapshot driver only supports manual rollback to savepoints
if ( and only if ) all previous statements return with success.

e.g.

My env :

win2003 server
8.1.0 postgresql
psqlodbc 8.01.0105


CREATE TABLE testtable (
f1 int2 primary key,
f2 varchar(10) null);


the following snippet works

BEGIN
INSERT INTO testtable values ( 12, 'hello');
SAVEPOINT SP_INSERT;
INSERT INTO testtable values ( 13, 'hello1');
ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT SP_INSERT;
INSERT INTO testtable values ( 13, 'hello123');
COMMIT;

the following snippet don't work

BEGIN
INSERT INTO testtable values ( 12, 'hello');
SAVEPOINT SP_INSERT;
INSERT INTO testtable values ( 12, 'hello1'); <-- auto rollback occurs !!!
ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT SP_INSERT;
INSERT INTO testtable values ( 13, 'hello123');
COMMIT;

Why does an error breaks the savepoint environment ?

By now I used an application side workaround as I do an select before
each insert to check if a certain row already exists in the table.
If it exist I try an update on the row.
( but this is a real performance killer ... )
