[HACKERS] standard_conforming_strings 'on' for 8.3?
Are we going to turn on standard_conforming_strings for 8.3? We discussed the idea when we added it in 8.1, and enabled the backslash warning in 8.2. We have gotten almost no pushback on the warning, so it seems enabling it might be good. Right now, for default postgresql.conf, users are getting warnings for backslashes in non-E'' strings, so once we set standard_conforming_strings to 'on', we would turn off the warning. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDBhttp://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate

I'd be inclined to wait a bit longer, i.e., 8.4, seeing that this is intended to be a short release cycle. 8.2 has not been out long enough to draw any meaningful conclusions about whether we have gotten almost no pushback --- for instance it's probably not shipped in any major Linux distros yet. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

OK, makes sense. I am just noticing some of the documentation isn't clear on mentioning standard_conforming_strings in all places, so I will update that. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDBhttp://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
