I haven't tried it, but I'd trust Oliver on this one. I was thinking of the underlying wire-level extended query protocol, which requires a single "statement" per "query".

Any server settings (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/runtime-config.html ) that are updatable at runtime. For a quick reference, you can run:
select name, short_desc, extra_desc from pg_settings where context = 'user';
(context determines when you can change it).
