Ok, I found DefineCustom*() and _PG_init() but there's a small problem: the functions I'm writing are for a user defined typed and apparently _PG_init() is not called until some operation with the type is done (e.g. anything with the input/output functions). This means that DefineCustom*() is not called and PG doesn't know about the variable until it's too late - I need the session variable to be settable by the user before input/output - relying on the "default value" is not enough. Is there any way to make _PG_init() called earlier, e.g. as soon as the session is established or at database connection time, something like that? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
