The SET OPTION statement is used to change options that affect the
behavior of the database server. Setting the value of an option can change the
behavior for all users or only for an individual user. The scope of the change
can be either temporary or permanent.
The classes of options are:
♦
General database options
♦
Transact-SQL compatibility
♦
Replication database options
$
For a listing and description of all available options, see "Database
Options" on page 155.
You can set options at three levels of scope: public, user, and temporary. A
temporary option takes precedence over other options, and user options take
precedence over public options. If you set a user level option for the current
user, the corresponding temporary option gets set as well.
If you use the EXISTING keyword, option values cannot be set for an
individual user ID unless there is already a PUBLIC user ID setting for that
option.
