Correct, but in the Java code, it's multiple statements in a single transaction, so \
it should stick. Not sure if something else stupid is going on.


Good to know about the ALTER DATABASE effect. I didn't realize that.


Thanks a billion.


Laurent.

ALTER DATABASE only affects subsequently-started sessions.

That "true" means "local to the current transaction", which is
just the one statement if you don't have a BEGIN.
