Configuration Settings Functions

Configuration setting functions are used for querying and modifying configuration parameters during running.

• current_setting(setting_name)

  Description: Specifies the current setting.

  Return type: text

  Note: current_setting obtains the current setting of setting_name by query. It is equivalent to the SHOW statement. For example:

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  openGauss=# SELECT current_setting('datestyle'); current_setting ----------------- ISO, MDY (1 row)

• set_working_grand_version_num_manually(tmp_version)

  Description: Upgrades new features of GaussDB by switching the authorization version.

  Return type: void

• shell_in(type)

  Description: Inputs a route for the shell type that has not yet been filled.

  Return type: void

• shell_out(type)

  Description: Outputs a route for the shell type that has not yet been filled.

  Return type: void

• set_config(setting_name, new_value, is_local)

  Description: Sets the parameter and returns a new value.

  Return type: text

  Note: set_config sets the parameter setting_name to new_value. If is_local is true, the new value will only apply to the current transaction. If you want new_value to apply to the current session, use false instead. This function is equivalent to the SET statement.

  Example:

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  openGauss=# SELECT set_config('log_statement_stats', 'off', false); set_config ------------ off (1 row)
