Description

There is vague description on:
​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/transactions/#tying-transactions-to-http-requests

"You may perform partial commits ..."

Sorry, you can't. Commits are ACID. They are durable xor not. They can't be partial.

Some years ago I was wondering why transactions in PostgreSQL are not nestable. I needed some time to understand it. The fact: Transaction can't be nested.

I would write:

"You may perform subtransactions via savepoints ..."
