this?
Run this:
$ psql -c "select name,context from pg_settings"
This will sort out which settings are in which category definitively,
rather than relying on the sometimes ambiguous comments in the file.
Settings that say "postmaster" require a full database restart. Ones
labeled "sighup" can be changed in the postgresql.conf and then the
server signaled to use them, most easily with:
pg_ctl reload
-OR-
psql -c "select pg_reload_conf()"
Ones labeled "user" you can actually change for any user at any time
during their session. Modifying the defaults and then executing the
sighup procedure will make those new defaults active, but not for any
clients that already have open connections.
I recommend using SHOW or looking at pg_settings after making a change
and reloading the server config to confirm it took.
