  <title>Description</title>

  <para>
   <command>SHOW</command> will display the current setting of
   run-time parameters. These variables can be set using the
   <command>SET</command> statement, by editing the
   <filename>postgresql.conf</filename> configuration file, through
   the <envar>PGOPTIONS</envar> environmental variable (when using
   <application>libpq</application> or a <application>libpq</application>-based
   application), or through command-line flags when starting the
   <command>postgres</command> server.  See <xref
   linkend="runtime-config"/> for details.

  <title>Parameters</title>

  <variablelist>
   <varlistentry>
    <term><replaceable class="parameter">name</replaceable></term>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      The name of a run-time parameter.  Available parameters are
      documented in <xref linkend="runtime-config"/> and on the <xref
      linkend="sql-set"/> reference page.  In
      addition, there are a few parameters that can be shown but not
      set:

      <variablelist>
       <varlistentry>
        <term><literal>SERVER_VERSION</literal></term>
        <listitem>
         <para>
          Shows the server's version number.
         </para>
        </listitem>
       </varlistentry>

       <varlistentry>
        <term><literal>SERVER_ENCODING</literal></term>
        <listitem>
         <para>
          Shows the server-side character set encoding.  At present,
          this parameter can be shown but not set, because the
          encoding is determined at database creation time.
         </para>
        </listitem>
       </varlistentry>

       <varlistentry>
        <term><literal>IS_SUPERUSER</literal></term>
        <listitem>
         <para>
          True if the current role has superuser privileges.
         </para>

   <varlistentry>

  <title>Notes</title>

  <para>
   The function <function>current_setting</function> produces
   equivalent output; see <xref linkend="functions-admin-set"/>.
   Also, the
   <link linkend="view-pg-settings"><structname>pg_settings</structname></link>
   system view produces the same information.
