Stefan and Alvaro,
Thank you!!! Yes, that is the feature I'd like... and yes, setting it on
a per role or per database level is something I personally would prefer
over the connection level. But, is there also a way to set it on the
connection? Just because, one can imagine scenarios where two APIs share
the same role & database, but one API forces backslashes 'on' during its
statement-prepare.... just playing devil's advocate :-)
So is this 'standard_conforming_strings' variable already set-able in a
recent build, at the role or db level? Or will that need to wait for 8.2?
Thanks again!!!!!!
