RESET(7)

💅 RESET(7) — the PostgreSQL 13.23 manual page, bestie edition 💅

okay so this is the RESET page from the PostgreSQL 13.23 docs. It’s giving “undo my session settings, but make it official.” No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

RESET — restore the value of a run-time parameter to the default value. periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

RESET configuration_parameter
RESET ALL

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

RESET restores run-time parameters to their default values. It’s literally an alternative spelling for:

SET configuration_parameter TO DEFAULT

Refer to SET(7) for details, bestie.

The default value is defined as the value that the parameter would have had if no SET had ever been issued for it in the current session. The actual source of this value might be a compiled-in default, the configuration file, command-line options, or per-database or per-user default settings. This is subtly different from defining it as “the value that the parameter had at session start”, because if the value came from the configuration file, it will be reset to whatever is specified by the configuration file now. See Chapter 19 for details.

💀 transactional tea: the transactional behavior of RESET is the same as SET — its effects will be undone by transaction rollback.

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• configuration_parameter — Name of a settable run-time parameter. Available parameters are documented in Chapter 19 and on the SET(7) reference page.
• ALL — Resets all settable run-time parameters to default values.

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Set the timezone configuration variable to its default value:

RESET timezone;

🫶 COMPATIBILITY 🫶

RESET is a PostgreSQL extension. iconic, honestly.
