| 47 | + Previously, if an unprivileged user ran <literal>ALTER USER ... RESET |
| 48 | + ALL</> for himself, or <literal>ALTER DATABASE ... RESET ALL</> for |
| 49 | + a database he owns, this would remove all special parameter settings |
| 50 | + for the user or database, even ones that are only supposed to be |
| 51 | + changeable by a superuser. Now, the <command>ALTER</> will only |
