Yup -- here's another example. I was playing around with autocommit off in
postgresql.conf to see the effect on dblink. Just now I tried to use
pg_dumpall in preparation for an initdb, and got this:
$ pg_dumpall > cur.2002.10.14.dmp
pg_dump: WARNING: BEGIN: already a transaction in progress
pg_dump: could not set transaction isolation level to serializable: ERROR:
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL must be called before any query
pg_dumpall: pg_dump failed on dblink_test_master, exiting
