32 | 32 | Some settings specify a memory or time value. Each of these has an |
33 | 33 | implicit unit, which is either kilobytes, blocks (typically eight |
34 | 34 | kilobytes), milliseconds, seconds, or minutes. Default units can be |
35 | | - queried by referencing <literal>pg_settings.unit</>. For convenience, |
| 35 | + found by referencing <structname>pg_settings</>.<structfield>unit</>. |
| 36 | + For convenience, |
36 | 37 | a different unit can also be specified explicitly. Valid memory units |
37 | 38 | are <literal>kB</literal> (kilobytes), <literal>MB</literal> |
38 | 39 | (megabytes), and <literal>GB</literal> (gigabytes); valid time units |

46 | | - Settings of type 'enum' are specified the same way at string settings, |
47 | | - but are restricted to a limited range of values. To find available |
48 | | - values, look at <literal>pg_settings.enumvals</>. Enum settings are |
49 | | - case insensitive. |
| 47 | + Parameters of type <quote>enum</> are specified in the same way as string |
| 48 | + parameters, but are restricted to a limited set of values. The allowed |
| 49 | + values can be found |
| 50 | + from <structname>pg_settings</>.<structfield>enumvals</>. |
| 51 | + Enum parameter values are case-insensitive. |
