><P
> The <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> command changes run-time configuration
parameters. Many of the run-time parameters listed in
<A
HREF="runtime-config.html"
>Chapter 18</A
> can be changed on-the-fly with
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
>.
(But some require superuser privileges to change, and others cannot
be changed after server or session start.)
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> only affects the value used by the current
session.
</P
><P
> If <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> (or equivalently <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET SESSION</TT
>)
is issued within a transaction that is later aborted, the effects of the
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> command disappear when the transaction is rolled
back. Once the surrounding transaction is committed, the effects
will persist until the end of the session, unless overridden by another
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
>.
</P
><P
> The effects of <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET LOCAL</TT
> last only till the end of
the current transaction, whether committed or not. A special case is
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> followed by <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET LOCAL</TT
> within
a single transaction: the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET LOCAL</TT
> value will be
seen until the end of the transaction, but afterwards (if the transaction
is committed) the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> value will take effect.
</P
><P
> The effects of <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> or <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET LOCAL</TT
> are
also canceled by rolling back to a savepoint that is earlier than the
command.
</P
><P
> If <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET LOCAL</TT
> is used within a function that has a
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SET</TT
> option for the same variable (see
<A
HREF="sql-createfunction.html"
>CREATE FUNCTION</A
>),
the effects of the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET LOCAL</TT
> command disappear at
function exit; that is, the value in effect when the function was called is
restored anyway. This allows <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET LOCAL</TT
> to be used for
dynamic or repeated changes of a parameter within a function, while still
having the convenience of using the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SET</TT
> option to save and
restore the caller's value. However, a regular <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SET</TT
> command
overrides any surrounding function's <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SET</TT
> option; its effects
will persist unless rolled back.
