Settings ​

Settings have server, database and statement scope. Choose the scope before the option name so the change has the intended lifetime.

Scope Interface Effect
Server XML configuration Startup listeners, credentials, diagnostics and ceilings.
Database SET or documented PRAGMA/catalog writes Persisted defaults and effective database behavior.
Format Statement SETTINGS Input/output options for one statement.

Read system.settings for effective database values and read-only format defaults. Server-only XML options are documented separately and do not appear there.
