Yes, this is another vain attempt to get some attention to the custom
config variables patch that I've submitted (twice) :-)

But it's also a relevant question.

Given that the design is accepted and a custom variable will use
qualified names I'd propose a change to the SQL parser so that the names
doesn't need to be quoted in the SET and SHOW commands. Today one must
write:

SET "pljava.vmoptions" TO '-Xmx128M'

I think it would be more clean if one could write:

SET pljava.vmoptions TO '-Xmx128M'

What's your thoughts?

Kind regards,

Thomas Hallgren

Hi Thomas,

Please don't get too disheartened that a developer hasn't commented on
your stuff yet. Everyone's very busy at the moment. Just hang in there!
