I understand, but this behave is confusing. Maybe better is using some trivial keywords like append, delete, reset so append custom_variable_class = 'x' append custom_variable_class = 'y' append custom_variable_class = 'z' is custom_variable_classes = 'x,y,z' Regards Pavel > > -- > Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com > > > -- > Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers > -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
