Database Variables
There are a lot of configuration parameters that affect the behavior of the database system. All parameter (server variables) names are case-insensitive. Every such variable takes a value of one of four types: boolean, integer, floating point or string. For a PostgreSQL database you can specify values of the variables (different from values of the server variables). 
 
|   To set a new database variable value use Database variable properties window. In order to open the window you should either   | • | select the Object | Create Database Object... main menu item; | 
| • | select the Variable icon in the Create Database Object dialog | 
or | • | select the Variables list or any object from that list in the explorer tree; | 
| • | select the Add New Variable... item from the popup menu | 
or | • | open the database in Database Editor and the Variables tab there; | 
| • | press the Insert key or select the Add New Variable... item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar). | 
  | 
 
|   Variables can be edited within Database Variable Properties window. In order to run the editor you should either   | • | select the variable for editing in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the variable name for quick search); | 
| • | select the Edit Variable ... item from the popup menu | 
or | • | open the database in Database Editor and the Variables tab there; | 
| • | select the variable to edit; | 
| • | press the Enter key or select the Edit Variable item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar). | 
  | 
 
|   To reset a database variable:   | • | select the variable to drop in the explorer tree; | 
| • | select the Drop Variable item from the popup menu | 
or | • | open the database in Database Editor and the Variables tab there; | 
| • | select the variable to drop; | 
| • | press the Delete key or select the Drop Variable item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar) | 
  and confirm dropping in the dialog window.   |
