I would suggest adding a section titled "Identification" and placing these under that. Reading it over it looks good. One point though: SET and SET ROLE are indeed "at run-time" (not 'run time'). ALTER ROLE and ALTER DATABASE should be considered "at connection-time" just like the command-line options. David J.
