Ann, don't you remember that savepoints do work in Firebird 1.5 ?
And nested transactions is just another name for savepoints ?

I already received some letters from people using it in Java code
to handle exceptions (and I also do it) this way:

Database.beginSavepoint(con,'do_some_work');
try {
...
} catch(Exception ex) {
Database.undoSavepoint(con,'do_some_work');
...
}
