I am not sure what you mean by "stored procedure". Basically, (as I understand it) you have three
kinds of variable in the postgresql conf.

1) default variables that can be changed during server in run-time via the PSQL set command.
2) variables that can be changed with a SIGHUP (Signal Hang-Up) the server remains live and the
variables are refreshed from the postgresql.conf
3) variables that required the server to be completely restarted.
