-\fBset\fR variable \fBto\fR 'value1[,value2 ...]'
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR Set
-will modify configuration parameters for
-.IR variable
-during a session.
-.PP
-Current values can be obtained using
-.IR show(l),
-and values can be restored to the defaults using
-.IR reset(l).
-Parameters and values are case-insensitive.
-Note that the value field is always specified as a string, so
-is enclosed in single-quotes.

-.if t .ta 0.5i +1.5i +3.0i
-.in 0
-.nf
- ISO - use ISO 8601-style dates and times
- SQL - use Oracle/Ingres-style dates and times
- Postgres - use traditional Postgres format
- European - use dd/mm/yyyy for numeric date representations.
- NonEuropean - use mm/dd/yyyy for numeric date representations.
- US - same as 'NonEuropean'
- default - restores the default values ('US,Postgres')

-.PP
-.IR COST_HEAP
-sets the cost uses for heap scans by the optimizer.
-.PP
-.IR COST_INDEX
-sets the cost uses for index scans by the optimizer.
-.PP
-.IR GEQO
-enables or disables the genetic optimizer algorithm. This algorithm is
-.IR on
-by default, which used GEQO for statements of eleven or more tables.
-Set the
-.IR Programmer's Guide
-for more information.
-
-.ce 1
-\fBGEQO Values\fR
-
-.if n .ta 5 +15 +40
-.if t .ta 0.5i +1.5i +3.0i
-.in 0
-.nf
- on - use for statements with 8 or more tables
- on=10 - use for statements with 10 or more tables
- off - do not use the genetic optimizer
-.fi
-.PP
-.IR KSQO
-enables or disables a workaround for memory exhaustion in queries with many
-.B OR

-.PP
-.IR TIMEZONE

-.PP
-\fITRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL\fR sets the current transaction's isolation
-level to \fI SERIALIZABLE\fR or \fIREAD COMMITTED\fR. \fISERIALIZABLE\fR
-means that the current transaction queries will read only rows committed
-before first DML statement (SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE/FETCH/COPY_TO) was
-executed in this transaction. \fIREAD COMMITTED\fR means that the current
-transaction queries will read only rows committed before a query began.
-\fIREAD COMMITTED\fR is the default. \fBNote\fR: SQL92 standard requires
-\fISERIALIZABLE\fR to be the default isolation level.
