So it's there but hard to find (I did read the table of contents at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/runtime-config.html but I guess after all the subchapters about specific configuration parameters I didn't notice the one generic subchapter near the end). I think referring to that chapter from https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-set.html and possibly other places would help. hp -- _ | Peter J.
