As Bruce has mentioned, this is currently read-only, set to off. I needed something fast, and I could see a way to do it quickly with a configure switch, to compile it for standard behavior. Since the non-standard behavior is in the lexer, I couldn't see any reasonable way to base it on a runtime switch. I'm curious what is intended here. Can anyone give a one-paragraph explanation of how this configuration option will work? -Kevin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
