How to create and release a save point in JDBC?

When you set a save point you define a logical rollback point within a transaction. If an error occurs past a save point, you can use the rollback method to undo either all the changes or only the changes made after the save point.
Savepoint interface gives you the additional transactional control. Most modern DBMS, support save points within their environments such as Oracle's PL/SQL.
You can set a save point in a database using the setSavepoint(String savepointName) method of the Connection interface, this method accepts a string value representing the name of the save point and returns a Savepoint object.
You can release a save point using the releaseSavepoint(Savepoint savepointName) method of the Connection interface, this method accepts the name of the savepoint and releases/deletes the specified save point.
Assume we have a table named customers in the database with 5 records as shown below:
+----+-----------+------+---------+----------------+
| ID | NAME      | AGE  | SALARY | ADDRESS         |
+----+-----------+------+---------+----------------+
| 1  | Amit      | 25   | 3000.00 | Hyderabad      |
| 2  | Kalyan    | 27   | 4000.00 | Vishakhapatnam |
| 3  | Renuka    | 30   | 5000.00 | Delhi          |
| 4  | Archana   | 24   | 1500.00 | Mumbai         |
| 5  | Koushik   | 30   | 9000.00 | Kota           |
+----+-----------+------+---------+----------------+
Following JDBC program Inserts 7 more records to it, sets a save point, removes some records and roll backs to the save point.
