Doc #68808 [Com]: Release savepoint states that it rolls back the transaction

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68808&edit=1 ID: 68808 Comment by: ghostaldev at gmail dot com Reported by: jesper at prisjakt dot nu Summary: Release savepoint states that it rolls back the transaction Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Here is a test to confirm. The table ends up as: apple potato orange "pomegranate" is missing, because it has been rolled back, but potato is included, because release_savepoint() actually has the effect of "forgetting" that savepoint, but NOT rolling back the work. $db->begin_transaction(); $db->query('INSERT INTO utility_belt SET item="apple"'); $db->savepoint('vegetables'); $db->query('INSERT INTO utility_belt SET item="potato"'); $db->release_savepoint('vegetables'); $db->savepoint('nope'); $db->query('INSERT INTO utility_belt SET item="pomegranate"'); $db->query('ROLLBACK TO nope'); // No rollback to savepoint function..? $db->query('INSERT INTO utility_belt SET item="orange"'); $db->commit(); It's interesting too that there appears to be no function to ACTUALLY rollback to a given savepoint.
