Sorry to nag about this so late, but I fear that the new command SET LOCAL will cause some confusion later on.
SQL uses LOCAL to mean the local node in a distributed system (SET LOCAL TRANSACTION ...) and the current session as opposed to all sessions (local temporary table). The new SET LOCAL command adds the meaning "this transaction only". Instead we could simply use SET TRANSACTION, which would be consistent in behaviour with the SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL command.
