What are the differences between savepoints and rollback in databases?

Can you explain the differences between savepoints and rollback in databases?

Sure! Savepoints are used to set a point in a transaction that you can roll back to, while rollback undoes the entire transaction.

So, can I use savepoints to undo only part of a transaction?

Exactly! Savepoints allow you to revert to a specific point without affecting the entire transaction.

What happens if I don't use savepoints and just use rollback?

If you only use rollback, the entire transaction will be undone, not just a part of it.

Are there any performance implications when using savepoints?

Yes, using savepoints can add overhead, but they provide more control over transactions.
