Transactions in Advantage now support savepoints. A savepoint identifies a state during a transaction to which you may want to roll back to, without having to roll back the entire transaction.

You can have multiple savepoints for a single transaction. You specify which savepoint you want to roll back to when you want to perform a partial rollback. When you roll back to a given savepoint, those operations within the transaction that were executed prior to the savepoint remain intact.

Transaction savepoints are discussed in detail in Chapter 12.
