Synopsis

RESET ALL
  

Inputs

variable

The name of a run-time parameter. See SET for a list.

RESET restores run-time parameters to their default values. Refer to SET for details. RESET is an alternate spelling for

The default value is defined as the value that the variable would have had, had no SET ever been issued for it in the current session. The actual source of this value might be a compiled-in default, the postmaster's configuration file or command-line switches, or per-database or per-user default settings. See the Administrator's Guide for details.

See the SET manual page for details on the transaction behavior of RESET.

Diagnostics

See under the SET command.
