                  name              | setting |  unit   | category  |                                                             short_desc
    --------------------------------+---------+---------+-----------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     debug_geocode_address          | false   | boolean | debug     | outputs debug information in notice log such as queries when geocode_address is called if true
     debug_geocode_intersection     | false   | boolean | debug     | outputs debug information in notice log such as queries when geocode_intersection is called if true
     debug_normalize_address        | false   | boolean | debug     | outputs debug information in notice log such as queries and intermediate expressions when normalize_address is called if true
     debug_reverse_geocode          | false   | boolean | debug     | if true, outputs debug information in notice log such as queries and intermediate expressions when reverse_geocode
     reverse_geocode_numbered_roads | 0       | integer | rating    | For state and county highways, 0 - no preference in name,
                                                                      1 - prefer the numbered highway name, 2 - prefer local state/county name
     use_pagc_address_parser        | false   | boolean | normalize | If set to true, will try to use the address_standardizer extension (via pagc_normalize_address)
                                                                     instead of tiger normalize_address built one

Changed: 2.2.0 : default settings are now kept in a table called geocode_settings_default. Use customized settingsa are in geocode_settings and only contain those that have been set by user.

Availability: 2.1.0
