See attached scripts for instance.
Your test shows so SET SESSION has not transactional behaviour - the
transactions fails, but the value is not reverted to NULL.
There are *two* function calls, the first fails and the second succeeds.
Here is the trace with a some comments:
[...]
## SET SESSION x.x = 'null';
SET
-- previous has set x.x = 'null'
## SELECT setupSecurityContext(3);
-- first setup... function call
NOTICE: SET secured = FALSE
NOTICE: SET secured = TRUE
-- there is a SET to 'ok' just after this print
-- at the end the transaction fails:
ERROR: insert or update on table "log" violates foreign key constraint
"log_sid_fkey"
DETAIL: Key (sid)=(3) is not present in table "stuff".
-- no result is displayed from the SELECT
## SHOW x.x;
nul
-- the value is the initial value, it has been reverted
## SELECT setupSecurityContext(2);
-- second setup... function call
NOTICE: SET secured = FALSE
NOTICE: SET secured = TRUE
-- trues is displayed, the function succeeded
t
## SHOW x.x;
ok
-- the new value is shown
