Fw: Running config vars

I think the way to do this is for SHOW ALL to show all setttings.

[ Charset ISO-8859-1 unsupported, converting... ]

Hi all (I hope this is the correct list),

Under Oracle there is v$parameter which list ALL config varables. Under
psql there is the SHOW command, but this only lists 1 variable. I have
written a shell script (attached) that shows ALL know variables. My
questions is can this script get included under contrib directory and is
there a way to make it into a view. I believe this kind of info will
help in trouble shooting problems.

thanks
Jim

I was looking for some way via standard SQL (I use perl DBI) to list
these variables. I don't believe the SHOW command is available via DBI
