Thread: setting statement_timeout on live postmaster

Is there anyway to modify the statement_timeout value set
in postgresql.conf  we creating a connection?
I would like to have the value set to something like 60 seconds on a
regular basis but my vacuumdb statements run longer and timeout without
completing the vacuum

Sure, use SET statement_timeout = 60000 in your session before the vacuum.
