Setting Parameters in a Session

Any session parameter can be set in an active database session using the SET command. For example:

=# SET statement_mem TO '200MB';

The parameter setting is valid for the rest of that session or until you issue a RESET command. For example:

=# RESET statement_mem;

Settings at the session level override those at the role level.
