Re: transaction control in pl/pgsql

Hi Grzegorz,

sorry, but that doesn't help me, perhaps you could get a little bit clearer:

@a) Does the use of SAVEPOINT avoid memory overflow? I could not find an
explanation about memory use in the documentation of SAVEPOINT.

@b) Do you mean I should not process my data or I should not use plpgsql
to do that? In what way I'm trying to outsmart the software???

Thanks,

Birgit.
