It was Ian Kelly, I think in [10022]. > So I'd say the answer is a). 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.
