Thoughts?
I think there is just enough of a case for quote_literal(), although in my experience the vast majority of places where it is used in fact should be replaced by using placeholders. I find that I need to use it very rarely indeed.
The case for set_config() is less compelling. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
