   Recall from <a class="xref" href="runtime-config.html" title="Chapter 20. Server Configuration">Chapter 20</a> that the
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> server provides a large number of
   run-time configuration variables.  You can set database-specific
   default values for many of these settings.
  </p><p>
   For example, if for some reason you want to disable the
   <acronym class="acronym">GEQO</acronym> optimizer for a given database, you'd
   ordinarily have to either disable it for all databases or make sure
   that every connecting client is careful to issue <code class="literal">SET geqo
   TO off</code>.  To make this setting the default within a particular
   database, you can execute the command:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
ALTER DATABASE mydb SET geqo TO off;
</pre><p>
   This will save the setting (but not set it immediately).  In
   subsequent connections to this database it will appear as though
   <code class="literal">SET geqo TO off;</code> had been executed just before the
   session started.
   Note that users can still alter this setting during their sessions; it
   will only be the default.  To undo any such setting, use
   <code class="literal">ALTER DATABASE <em class="replaceable"><code>dbname</code></em> RESET
   <em class="replaceable"><code>varname</code></em></code>.
