Bug report - supportsSavepoints

From

Hello,
 
I've tested PostgreSQL 8.0.0rc4 with PostgreSQL-jdbc3.
Although PostgreSQL's new feature - savepoints - works fine using JDBC3, the DatabaseMetaData.supportsSavepoints() method invoked on a valid connection to PostgreSQL database returns "false", but should return "true".
 
The "return false" is hardwired into the source code:
 
AbstractJdbc3DatabaseMetaData.java:
...
    public boolean supportsSavepoints() throws SQLException
    {
        return false;
    }
 ...
 
 
Exact product versions:
pg80b1.308.jdbc3.jar
PostgreSQL 8.0.0 rc4
 
It would be useful if this method told the truth.
 
Best regards
  Filip Hrbek

This has already been fixed in cvs, but thanks for the report.
