If you are concerned about failing to reset parameters, use "SET LOCAL
foo" instead of plain "SET foo" (and of course, do this inside a
transaction block).  With the LOCAL option the parameter is guaranteed
to be reset at transaction end.

I think it is reasonable to expect a pooling system to deliver you a
fresh transaction.  It is not reasonable to expect it to go and issue
explicit SET commands to undo things you've done.
