Postgresql 9.4.x
What is the proper way to set configuration values?
Within postresql there is a file postgresql.conf. Traditionally I go into this file directly and make configuration changes. That of course is the wrong way to do it. A person could easily have a typo and not know it. When I upgrade to 9.5 I want to make sure I am doing this the proper way.
Ideally I know you should not change postgresql.conf directly. One way of making configuration changes is using the SET command. I have no issue with that. But what is the proper way to change configuration setting that cannot be made with SET?
Thanks,
