Yes. BTW, while there's unlikely to be a good reason to put search_path in pg.conf with appends, there are a LOT of reasons to want to be able to append to it during a session. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
