Uh, what? The commit I'm objecting to is certainly not in 9.3.
It's this one:
Author: Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us>
Branch: master [a54141aeb] 2013-10-04 13:50:28 -0400
Issue error on SET outside transaction block in some cases
Issue error for SET LOCAL/CONSTRAINTS/TRANSACTION outside a transaction
block, as they have no effect.
Per suggestion from Morten Hustveit
I agree that it's too late to reconsider the behavior of pre-existing
cases such as LOCK TABLE, but that doesn't mean I can't complain about
this one.
regards, tom lane
