Historically these database properties could be manipulated only by manually updating pg_database, which is error-prone and only possible for superusers. But there seems no good reason not to allow database owners to set them for their databases, so invent CREATE/ALTER DATABASE options to do that. Adjust a couple of places that were doing it the hard way to use the commands instead. Vik Fearing, reviewed by Pavel Stehule
