[DOCS] SET documentation could mention ALTER USER, etc.
Suggestion for the SET documentation: mention that settings can be made permanent by editing postgresql.conf and reloading the postmater, or by using ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE. A place to mention this might be at the end of the first paragraph under the Description, after "SET only affects the value used by the current session." -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There's already a link to section 16.4, which explains all that in detail. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

Sure, but the references say things like "the run-time parameters listed in Section 16.4" and "Available parameters are documented in Section 16.4" so somebody might not think to follow the link if they already know what parameters they're interested in. It might be helpful to add another link that says, "And by the way, if you want to make the changes permanent, see Section 16.4." -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
