Hi:
Is there a way to do the equivalent of a "\set foo 1" through perl dbi ?
I tried...
$dbh->do("\\set foo 1");
and got a syntax error
Of course, I'd also have to be able to access the value of foo once its set. I'm guessing the usual way ??? (select :foo)
No. Meta commands are psql client program only. You'd need to explain why you want this to get reasonable server-side suggestions.
