This is an open todo item for the JDBC driver. It could be done by
automatically wrapping all statements in savepoints behind the scenes.
Then any error would rollback to the savepoint and you could continue on
with your transaction. This option would only be used for
compatibility which makes it a low priority for people who are mostly
PostgreSQL users. Also, it'll certainly decrease performance.
