Hmm, a careful review of the patch leads me to believe that this is one
of the few times that a keyword might benefit from localization. Seems
l10n efforts in this area have mostly focused on the filtering case, but
I'm sure we can repurose such lists. Licensing might be an issue.
Clearly this needs to be controlled by the client locale, not the
server. Any need for a guc?

You know, I was about to write a rant about this, until I realized
what day it will be soon (or already is, UTC).

[HACKERS] Alias to rollback keyword

2010-03-31 Thread Matthew Altus
Hey,

After dealing with a production fault and having to rollback all the time, I 
kept typing a different word instead of rollback.  So I created a patch to 
accept this word as an alias for rollback.  Obviously it's not part of the sql 
standard, but could be a nice extension for postgresql.  See the patch for 
more details.

Cheers
Matt
