FWIW, this is exactly how the psql client handles "ON_ERROR continue".
There is resistance to building it into the protocol itself since the
autocommit fiasco. The backward compatability issues are daunting and
as pointed it can be handled adequately inside the driver
(jdbc/odbc/etc).

(That's not to say it couldn't be made easier for the clients also. For
example as part of the query request have a flag that says: start
savepoint prior to execution.)

Have a nice day,
