Okay... > SQL uses LOCAL to mean the local node in a distributed system (SET LOCAL > TRANSACTION ...) and the current session as opposed to all sessions (local > temporary table). The new SET LOCAL command adds the meaning "this > transaction only".

Hmm ... this would mean that the implicit parsing of SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL would change (instead of SET / TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL you'd now tend to read it as SET TRANSACTION / ISOLATION LEVEL) but I guess that would still not create any parse conflicts. I'm okay with this as long as we can fix psql's command completion stuff to handle it intelligently. I hadn't gotten round to looking at that point yet for the LOCAL case; do you have any thoughts? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
