Re: Possible problem with pg_reload_conf() and view pg_settings

I have tested on pgsql-8.1-beta3 on Windows 2003.
It works fine.

I changed the line in postmaster.conf between "on" and "off".
(Remember to save it each time). And paste the two lines in
psql to see the results.

select pg_reload_conf();
select setting from pg_settings where name = 'constraint_exclusion';
