parameter to control cycle detection

[Coby Beck]

Hi,

I get the following error trying to update a view:

"ERROR: query rewritten 10 times, may contain cycles"

and it doesn't. There is a function in there legitimately called 10 times
with the same parameters. 10 seems a little low to panic about, is this
configurable? The rule code is generated programmatically so for now at
least I would like to avoid having to find a general solution for the sake
of an optimization I may not need and it is not an option to hand tweak this
one problem rule.

Can I set this 10 parameter higher somewhere?

TIA.

Update to something newer. The default limit is 100 in 7.3, and the
whole thing is gone in favor of *real* loop detection in 7.4 ...

Thanks for the reply, Tom. Upgrading is on the TODO list for sure. In the
meantime, is there not a way to change the default?

Not without recompiling. IIRC it's a #define in
backend/rewriter/rewriteHandler.c.
