The JDBC driver does not support savepoints because the backend does not
support savepoints/nested transactions.  Some poeple are working on that,
but I'm under the impression that it hasn't gotten much farther than
some planning and preliminary work.  When the backend has support for this
feature you can expect the JDBC driver to get support shortly thereafter.
