Hello Documentation has no description how 'false' value for 'is_local' parameter interact with transaction
Do I understand correct? https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/functions-admin.html#FUNCTIONS-ADMIN-SET >set_config sets the parameter setting_name to new_value. If is_local is true, >the new value will only apply to the current transaction. If you want the new >value to apply for the current session, use false instead. If I use 'false' then transaction will not have effect, because I set the value to session? tucha=> select current_setting( 'my.app_period', true ); current_setting ----------------- (1 row) tucha=> begin; BEGIN tucha=> select set_config( 'my.app_period', tstzrange( '-infinity', 'infinity' )::text, false ); set_config ---------------------- [-infinity,infinity) (1 row) tucha=> rollback; ROLLBACK NOTICE: session is rolled back and session value is rolled back despite on that I did not use 'true' as parameter for local: tucha=> select current_setting( 'my.app_period', true ); current_setting ----------------- (1 row) tucha=> begin; BEGIN tucha=> select set_config( 'my.app_period', tstzrange( '-infinity', 'infinity' )::text, false ); set_config ---------------------- [-infinity,infinity) (1 row) tucha=> commit; COMMIT When I commit then the value is applied to session: tucha=> select current_setting( 'my.app_period', true ); current_setting ---------------------- [-infinity,infinity) (1 row) -- Best regards, Eugen Konkov
