# Template settings

Template settings combine literal text with named or zero-based positional field placeholders. A placeholder states the field escaping grammar.

The row separator appears between rows only. Put a required final newline in the literal row or result template. Input must match literal separators; mismatches are data errors.

Use a statement `SETTINGS` clause. Defaults in `system.settings` are read-only;
format settings cannot be persisted with `SET`. Put input settings before
`FORMAT`, because the bytes after the format name are input data.

## template_quote_large_integers

Type: `Bool`

Default value: `0`

Write integers of at least 64 bits as strings in JSON template fields; retained narrow types stay numeric.

Applies to: `template`.

## template_result

Type: `String`

Default value: `''`

Literal result template; empty means ${data}. Output supports data and rows; input may skip prefix or suffix fields.

Applies to: `template`.

## template_row

Type: `String`

Default value: `''`

Literal row template with named or zero-based column placeholders and per-field escaping; empty requires an override.

Applies to: `template`.

## template_row_separator

Type: `String`

Default value: `\n`

Text between template rows, excluding their own literals; never written after the final row.

Applies to: `template`.
