Well, we don't manually set other variables in psql itself, with the exception of defining some default values before we process command-line args or psqlrc (see startup.c circa line 141) -- so in that case allowing the value to be overriden is fine. On looking at the code closer though, I do see one related problem: we process command-line args before we read psqlrc, so psqlrc settings can override what was specified on the command-line. Shouldn't this happen in reverse? -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
