Savepoint names are identifiers; the SQL spec says so. Prepared transaction GIDs are string literals. The relevant discussion about that is here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-05/msg01292.php We could conceivably allow an identifier too in PREPARE TRANSACTION, but I think that that might be more dangerous than helpful, because of the implicit case folding for identifiers. 'XX' and 'xx' are distinct but XX and xx wouldn't be. There are a few other places where we allow strings and identifiers interchangeably, but AFAIR they are all places where case doesn't matter. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
