Description:
Hi,
I remember in version 9 , to use variable you had to change in the
postgresql.
Today it is easier , just use
SET SESSION myprefix.myvariable = 'whatever'
and all the transactions can use it , it is very useful in some cases, for
example to track the author of a change , you don't need to change all your
java/php/python code , just use a trigger on the table to fill up a column
"change_by"
I've checked the documentation and that feature is not explained at all, not
even in the SET Command.
Hope it helps
Regards,
Sparkx
