Since there's a difference in the way the params are set in the postgresql.conf file and ALTER SYSTEM SET command (as pointed out by Tom in this thread [1]), I'm now confused. If we were to add examples to the "Parameter Names and Values" section, which examples should we addd, postgresql.conf files ones or ALTER SYSTEM SET command ones? Thoughts?
