By the query, its clear that "setting" value is multiplied with unit to get the sesssion level command value which is displayed here. However, I am trying to get the query of it which is executed at session-level with SHOW command. I tried "psql -E" option tooo..
-bash-3.2$ psql -E
psql.bin (9.1.0)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# show work_mem ;
work_mem
----------
2MB
(1 row)
Why the query is not displayed with -E option ?
Am I missing something here, please help me in clarifying it.
