The <function>current_setting</function> is used to obtain the current
4484+
value of the <parameter>setting_name</parameter> setting, as a query
4485+
result. It is the equivalent to the SQL <command>SHOW</command> command.
4486+
For example:
4487+
<programlisting>
4488+
select current_setting('DateStyle');
4489+

<para>
4497+
<function>set_config</function> allows the <parameter>setting_name
4498+
</parameter> setting to be changed to <parameter>new_value</parameter>.
4499+
If <parameter>is_local</parameter> is set to <literal>true</literal>,
4500+
the new value will only apply to the current transaction. If you want
4501+
the new value to apply for the current session, use
4502+
<literal>false</literal> instead. It is the equivalent to the SQL
4503+
<command>SET</command> command. For example:
4504+
<programlisting>
