31 RESET \- restore the value of a run\-time parameter to the default value
35 RESET \fIconfiguration_parameter\fR
41 restores run\-time parameters to their default values\&.
43 is an alternative spelling for
49 SET \fIconfiguration_parameter\fR TO DEFAULT
59 The default value is defined as the value that the parameter would have had, if no
61 had ever been issued for it in the current session\&. The actual source of this value might be a compiled\-in default, the configuration file, command\-line options, or per\-database or per\-user default settings\&. This is subtly different from defining it as
62 \(lqthe value that the parameter had at session start\(rq, because if the value came from the configuration file, it will be reset to whatever is specified by the configuration file now\&. See
66 The transactional behavior of
69 \fBSET\fR: its effects will be undone by transaction rollback\&.
72 \fIconfiguration_parameter\fR
74 Name of a settable run\-time parameter\&. Available parameters are documented in
83 Resets all settable run\-time parameters to default values\&.
