I had been wondering about long-lived open transactions, but AFAICS from the code, backends should re-read the config file at the next client command submission, whether inside a transaction block or not. So the thing to look for is what might be overriding the config file's value. In interactive sessions, examining the pg_settings view would be a promising way to debug that. I suspect though that the OP is guessing about what's happening inside application-driven sessions, where it would be hard to do that kind of debugging :-( regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
