<pre wrap="">I guess it's a matter of definition: Do you consider SET variables<br>database state or session metadata? I think some are this and some are<br>that. I'm not sure how to draw the line, but throwing everything from one<br>category into the other isn't my favorite solution.<br></pre>

<pre wrap="">You seem to be suggesting that we should make a variable-by-variable<br>decision about whether SET variables roll back on ABORT or not.

You sure<br>haven't convinced me that it's worth making SET's behavior<br>nigh-unpredictable-without-a-manual, which is what per-variable behavior<br>would be.<br></pre>

<pre wrap="">I am with Tom on this one. (Nice to see he is now arguing on my side.)<br></pre>

<pre wrap="">I vote against you. If a variable is local to the session, you<br>can change it as you like without bothering any other user(session).<br>Automatic resetting of the varibales is rather confusing to me.<br></pre>

Per backend or per session?<br>
