Hi, and thanks for the reply.
We're issuing queries from within our application where transactions
span a whole unit of work, so wrapping a single query in a transaction
just to set the param isn't really feasible except on a separate
connection, which i am loathe to do.
I was really hoping to be able to set join_collapse_limit=1 *just* on
the single query, as a kind of query hint, eg:
/* !hint:join_collapse_limit=1 */ SELECT ...
I take it this is this not possible in postgres?
cheers,
