This will probably help the other output types too.

Also note that SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL change
isolevel for _current_ transaction, in accordance with
standard, not for session (ALTER SESSION is used in Oracle,
but it's not implemented currently).

And I would don't mention SET XACTISOLEVEL TO ...
form at all.

Please update set.sgml - I failed to understand all these

SET TIME ZONE { '<REPLACEABLE CLASS="PARAMETER">

now.


for Vadim
1999-06-03 20:44:28 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 155b5808ca Thanks for this, but SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL

Bruce Momjian 716b8e2dba Updates for 6.5. 1999-05-17 06:06:35 +00:00
Tom Lane 507a0a2ab0 Rip out QueryTreeList structure, root and branch. Querytree
lists are now plain old garden-variety Lists, allocated with palloc,
rather than specialized expansible-array data allocated with malloc.
This substantially simplifies their handling and eliminates several
sources of memory leakage.
Several basic types of erroneous queries (syntax error, attempt to
insert a duplicate key into a unique index) now demonstrably leak
zero bytes per query.

Bruce Momjian 86dacdb74c libpq++ uses fe_setauthsvc which is deprecated and results in an error
on connection. This patch changes it to use PQconnectdb rather than
{fe_setauthsvc,PQsetdb}. This still isn't the complete solution, as
there
is no provision for user,password in class PgEnv, but it does get rid of
the error message. Tested with gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201
(egcs-1.1.1 release) under NetBSD-1.3K/i386.
