Re: [Tarantool-patches] [PATCH 4/4] sql: provide a user friendly frontend for accessing session settings

["Timur Safin" <tsafin@tarantool.org>]

: 
: I changed it to the following (the main problem with reserved word
: persists):
: 
: +///////////////////////////// The SET SESSION command
: ////////////////////////
: +//
: +cmd ::= SET SESSION nm(X) EQ term(Y).  {
: +    sql_setting_set(pParse,&X,Y.pExpr);
: +}
: +
: 
..

: =====
: 
: Currently if a user wants to change session setting with SQL, one has
: to execute UPDATE query like:
: [[UPDATE "_session_settings" SET "value" = true WHERE "name" = 'name']]
: However, direct access to system spaces isn't considered to be a good
: practice.
: To avoid that and a bit simplify user's life, we introduce SQL shortcut
: command
: SET SESSION.
: 
: Closes #4711
: 
: @TarantoolBot document
: Title: API for accessing _session_settings space.
: There are two ways of updating values of session settings:
: via Lua and SQL.
: 
...
: SQL:
: Instead of typing long UPDATE query one can use the SET SESSION command:
: `box.execute([[SET SESSION "<setting_name>" = <new_value>]])`.
: Note, that this query is case sensitive so the name must be quoted.
: Also, SET SESSION doesn't provide any implicit casts, so <new_value> must
: be of the type corresponding to the setting being updated.
: 
: Example:
: ```
: tarantool> box.execute([[set session "sql_default_engine" = 'memtx']])
: ---
: - row_count: 1
: ...
: 
: tarantool> box.execute([[set session "sql_defer_foreign_keys" = true]])
: ---
: - row_count: 1
: ...
: 

Like it! 
(The least intrusive way possible, but still is short for user to write)
