+.PP
+\fBSHOW\fR
+will display the current setting of run\-time parameters\&. These variables can be set using the
+\fBSET\fR
+statement, by editing the
+postgresql\&.conf
+configuration file, through the
+\fBPGOPTIONS\fR
+environmental variable (when using
+libpq
+or a
+libpq\-based application), or through command\-line flags when starting the
+\fBpostgres\fR
+server\&. See
+Chapter\ \&20
+for details\&.
+.SH "PARAMETERS"
+.PP

+.RE
+.PP
+LC_COLLATE
+.RS 4
+Shows the database\*(Aqs locale setting for collation (text ordering)\&. At present, this parameter can be shown but not set, because the setting is determined at database creation time\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+LC_CTYPE
+.RS 4
+Shows the database\*(Aqs locale setting for character classification\&. At present, this parameter can be shown but not set, because the setting is determined at database creation time\&.

+.RE
+.RE
+.PP
+ALL
+.RS 4
