# java.sql.Savepoint interface

The Savepoint interface contains methods to set, release, or roll back a transaction to designated savepoints. Once a savepoint has been set, the transaction can be rolled back to that savepoint without affecting preceding work.

Savepoints provide finer-grained control of transactions by marking intermediate points within a transaction.

Derby does not support savepoints within a trigger.

Derby does not release locks as part of the rollback to savepoint.

For more information on using savepoints, see the Derby Developer's Guide.
