on this subject.
The oldest active is the oldest transaction that was active when any
currently active transaction started. That's important because versions
created by that transaction and newer transactions are visible to some
active transaction and can not be garbage collected.

savepopints are used to roll back to so it's the same as long as the
transaction gets committed or rollback or if app crashes, timeout on the
server will rollback
