Description

Postgres upgrade scripts set standard_conforming_strings which is not allowed in 8.1:

ERROR: parameter "standard_conforming_strings" cannot be changed (state=55P02,code=0)

Postgres 8.1 Release notes say that "standard_conforming_strings value is read-only"
Postgres 8.2 notes say that it can be set at runtime.

It'd be nice to address this for those still using Postgres 8.1

This patch provides a schemaTool db option "postgres.filter.81" which, if set, filters out the "standard_conforming_strings" statement from upgrade scripts.
