You can *set* a boolean setting with any of those, but that doesn't mean it will be stored as the string you used: test=# set default_transaction_read_only = true; SET test=# show default_transaction_read_only; default_transaction_read_only ------------------------------- on (1 row) test=# set default_transaction_read_only = on; SET test=# show default_transaction_read_only; default_transaction_read_only ------------------------------- on (1 row) test=# set default_transaction_read_only = yes; SET test=# show default_transaction_read_only; default_transaction_read_only ------------------------------- on (1 row) test=# set default_transaction_read_only = 1; SET test=# show default_transaction_read_only; default_transaction_read_only ------------------------------- on (1 row) -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
