Other Ways to Set Parameters" yet does not reference the ability to use "set_config(...)" to make changes to configuration parameters. Something like (as a final sentence): An alternative to the SQL "SET" command is to use the [link]set_config[link] function. Also, I would suggest modifying the function definitions in table 9-58 to include the data types: current_setting(setting_name text) set_config(setting_name text, new_value text, is_local boolean) David J. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/9-3-Should-we-mention-set-config-in-18-1-3-in-Server-Configuration-tp5804655.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - docs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
