RE: huge SubtransSLRU and SubtransBuffer wait_event

Today, the only feasible solution is not to create more than 64 subtransactions (savepoints or PL/pgSQL EXCEPTION clauses) per transaction.

Don't use extensions or the JDBC driver option to simulate statement level rollback, that is the road to hell.
    You mean extensions to simulate a subtransaction like pg_background ?  for JDBC driver option to simulate statement level rollback, could you share more details ? 

Thanks,

James
