SHOW

show the value of a run-time parameter

SHOW

name

SHOW ALL

Description#

SHOW will display the current setting of run-time parameters. These variables can be set using the SET statement, by editing the postgresql.conf configuration file, through the PGOPTIONS environmental variable (when using libpq or a libpq-based application), or through command-line flags when starting the postgres server. See ??? for details.

Parameters#

\<name>
The name of a run-time parameter. Available parameters are documented in ??? and on the ??? reference page. In addition, there are a few parameters that can be shown but not set:

SERVER_VERSION
Shows the server's version number.

SERVER_ENCODING
Shows the server-side character set encoding. At present, this parameter can be shown but not set, because the encoding is determined at database creation time.

IS_SUPERUSER
True if the current role has superuser privileges.

ALL
Show the values of all configuration parameters, with descriptions.

Notes#

The function current_setting produces equivalent output; see ???. Also, the pg_settings system view produces the same information.

Examples#

Show the current setting of the parameter DateStyle:

SHOW DateStyle;
 DateStyle
-----------
 ISO, MDY
(1 row)

Show the current setting of the parameter geqo:

SHOW geqo;
 geqo
------
 on
(1 row)

Show all settings:

SHOW ALL;
            name         | setting |                description
