It was Ian Kelly, I think in [10022].

If that's right, then we have an inefficiency on Oracle at present -
the uses_savepoints flag is used both to signal that savepoints are
implemented (see BaseDatabaseWrapper._savepoint*() in django/db/
backends/__init__.py), and to signal that they are needed to wrap code
which may throw IntegrityErrors (as per reason b; see
QuerySet.get_or_create() in django/db/models/query.py).

We should probably be splitting these two meanings, so Postgresql
would have:

can_savepoint = True
needs_savepoint_after_exception = True

Whereas Oracle would have:

can_savepoint = True
needs_savepoint_after_exception = False

I'll open a ticket to remember this once Ian, Malcolm or another also
confirms.

Cheers,

Richard.
