Delphi 4 is the correct answer. This is from the book "Delphi 4
Developer's Guide" from Teixeira and Pacheco.

Maybe something like:
- CreateSavePoint(SavePointName)
- RollBackToSavePoint(SavePointName)
- ReleaseSavePoint(SavePointName) -> this is to add support for
RELEASE SAVEPOINT <identifier> [ONLY]

I think Nando might be right.

Here's what I understand of the nwe SAVEPOINT implementation in FB
1.5. Nothing is supposed to have changed in regards to the normal
transaction handling. The new DSQL SAVEPOINTS commands are just
supposed to give better handling of the overall transaction. So that a
partial ROLLBACK in a transaction is possible.
