Releases a savepoint within the current transaction.
RELEASE SAVEPOINT [ savepoint-name ]
The savepoint-name is an identifier specified on a SAVEPOINT statement within the current transaction. If savepoint-name is omitted, the most recent savepoint is released.
For a description of savepoints, see System Administration Guide: Volume 2 > Using Procedures and Batches. Releasing a savepoint does not perform any type of COMMIT; it simply removes the savepoint from the list of currently active savepoints.
