I would guess Spring would use DatabaseMetaData.supportsSavepoints() to
determine if it can use savepoints. Our implementation of that says,
"return connection.haveMinimumServerVersion("8.0");", so as long as you've
got a 8.0+ server it should work. For more details you'd have to ask the
Spring people.
