1 This section provides a reference of all configuration parameters that can
2 be used with Nominatim.
4 # Configuring Nominatim
6 Nominatim uses [dotenv](https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv) to manage
7 its configuration settings. There are two means to set configuration
8 variables: through an `.env` configuration file or through an environment
11 The `.env` configuration file needs to be placed into the
12 [project directory](../admin/Import.md#creating-the-project-directory). It
13 must contain configuration parameters in `<parameter>=<value>` format.
14 Please refer to the dotenv documentation for details.
16 The configuration options may also be set in the form of shell environment
17 variables. This is particularly useful, when you want to temporarily change
18 a configuration option. For example, to force the replication serve to
19 download the next change, you can temporarily disable the update interval:
21 NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL=0 nominatim replication --once
23 If a configuration option is defined through .env file and environment
24 variable, then the latter takes precedence.
26 ## Configuration Parameter Reference
28 ### Import and Database Settings
30 #### NOMINATIM_DATABASE_DSN
33 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
34 | **Description:** | Database connection string |
35 | **Format:** | string: `pgsql:<param1>=<value1>;<param2>=<value2>;...` |
36 | **Default:** | pgsql:dbname=nominatim |
37 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
39 Sets the connection parameters for the Nominatim database. At a minimum
40 the name of the database (`dbname`) is required. You can set any additional
41 parameter that is understood by libpq. See the [Postgres documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-PARAMKEYWORDS) for a full list.
44 It is usually recommended not to set the password directly in this
45 configuration parameter. Use a
46 [password file](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-pgpass.html)
50 #### NOMINATIM_DATABASE_WEBUSER
53 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
54 | **Description:** | Database query user |
55 | **Format:** | string |
56 | **Default:** | www-data |
57 | **After Changes:** | cannot be changed after import |
59 Defines the name of the database user that will run search queries. Usually
60 this is the user under which the webserver is executed. When running Nominatim
61 via php-fpm, you can also define a separate query user. The Postgres user
62 needs to be set up before starting the import.
64 Nominatim grants minimal rights to this user to all tables that are needed
65 for running geocoding queries.
68 #### NOMINATIM_DATABASE_MODULE_PATH
71 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
72 | **Description:** | Directory where to find the PostgreSQL server module |
73 | **Format:** | path |
74 | **Default:** | _empty_ (use `<project_directory>/module`) |
75 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --functions` |
76 | **Comment:** | Legacy tokenizer only |
78 Defines the directory in which the PostgreSQL server module `nominatim.so`
79 is stored. The directory and module must be accessible by the PostgreSQL
82 For information on how to use this setting when working with external databases,
83 see [Advanced Installations](../admin/Advanced-Installations.md).
85 The option is only used by the Legacy tokenizer and ignored otherwise.
88 #### NOMINATIM_TOKENIZER
91 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
92 | **Description:** | Tokenizer used for normalizing and parsing queries and names |
93 | **Format:** | string |
94 | **Default:** | icu |
95 | **After Changes:** | cannot be changed after import |
97 Sets the tokenizer type to use for the import. For more information on
98 available tokenizers and how they are configured, see
99 [Tokenizers](../customize/Tokenizers.md).
102 #### NOMINATIM_TOKENIZER_CONFIG
105 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
106 | **Description:** | Configuration file for the tokenizer |
107 | **Format:** | path |
108 | **Default:** | _empty_ (default file depends on tokenizer) |
109 | **After Changes:** | see documentation for each tokenizer |
111 Points to the file with additional configuration for the tokenizer.
112 See the [Tokenizer](../customize/Tokenizers.md) descriptions for details
115 If a relative path is given, then the file is searched first relative to the
116 project directory and then in the global settings directory.
118 #### NOMINATIM_MAX_WORD_FREQUENCY
121 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
122 | **Description:** | Number of occurrences before a word is considered frequent |
123 | **Format:** | int |
124 | **Default:** | 50000 |
125 | **After Changes:** | cannot be changed after import |
126 | **Comment:** | Legacy tokenizer only |
128 The word frequency count is used by the Legacy tokenizer to automatically
129 identify _stop words_. Any partial term that occurs more often then what
130 is defined in this setting, is effectively ignored during search.
133 #### NOMINATIM_LIMIT_REINDEXING
136 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
137 | **Description:** | Avoid invalidating large areas |
138 | **Format:** | bool |
139 | **Default:** | yes |
141 Nominatim computes the address of each place at indexing time. This has the
142 advantage to make search faster but also means that more objects needs to
143 be invalidated when the data changes. For example, changing the name of
144 the state of Florida would require recomputing every single address point
145 in the state to make the new name searchable in conjunction with addresses.
147 Setting this option to 'yes' means that Nominatim skips reindexing of contained
148 objects when the area becomes too large.
151 #### NOMINATIM_LANGUAGES
154 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
155 | **Description:** | Restrict search languages |
156 | **Format:** | string: comma-separated list of language codes |
157 | **Default:** | _empty_ |
159 Normally Nominatim will include all language variants of name:XX
160 in the search index. Set this to a comma separated list of language
161 codes, to restrict import to a subset of languages.
163 Currently only affects the initial import of country names and special phrases.
166 #### NOMINATIM_TERM_NORMALIZATION
169 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
170 | **Description:** | Rules for normalizing terms for comparisons |
171 | **Format:** | string: semicolon-separated list of ICU rules |
172 | **Default:** | :: NFD (); [[:Nonspacing Mark:] [:Cf:]] >; :: lower (); [[:Punctuation:][:Space:]]+ > ' '; :: NFC (); |
173 | **Comment:** | Legacy tokenizer only |
175 [Special phrases](Special-Phrases.md) have stricter matching requirements than
176 normal search terms. They must appear exactly in the query after this term
177 normalization has been applied.
179 Only has an effect on the Legacy tokenizer. For the ICU tokenizer the rules
181 [normalization section](Tokenizers.md#normalization-and-transliteration)
185 #### NOMINATIM_USE_US_TIGER_DATA
188 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
189 | **Description:** | Enable searching for Tiger house number data |
190 | **Format:** | boolean |
191 | **Default:** | no |
192 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --functions` |
194 When this setting is enabled, search and reverse queries also take data
195 from [Tiger house number data](Tiger.md) into account.
198 #### NOMINATIM_USE_AUX_LOCATION_DATA
201 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
202 | **Description:** | Enable searching in external house number tables |
203 | **Format:** | boolean |
204 | **Default:** | no |
205 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --functions` |
206 | **Comment:** | Do not use. |
208 When this setting is enabled, search queries also take data from external
209 house number tables into account.
211 *Warning:* This feature is currently unmaintained and should not be used.
214 #### NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY
217 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
218 | **Description:** | Use HTTP proxy when downloading data |
219 | **Format:** | boolean |
220 | **Default:** | no |
222 When this setting is enabled and at least
223 [NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY_HOST](#nominatim_http_proxy_host) and
224 [NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY_PORT](#nominatim_http_proxy_port) are set, the
225 configured proxy will be used, when downloading external data like
229 #### NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY_HOST
232 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
233 | **Description:** | Host name of the proxy to use |
234 | **Format:** | string |
235 | **Default:** | _empty_ |
237 When [NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY](#nominatim_http_proxy) is enabled, this setting
238 configures the proxy host name.
241 #### NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY_PORT
244 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
245 | **Description:** | Port number of the proxy to use |
246 | **Format:** | integer |
247 | **Default:** | 3128 |
249 When [NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY](#nominatim_http_proxy) is enabled, this setting
250 configures the port number to use with the proxy.
253 #### NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY_LOGIN
256 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
257 | **Description:** | Username for proxies that require login |
258 | **Format:** | string |
259 | **Default:** | _empty_ |
261 When [NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY](#nominatim_http_proxy) is enabled, use this
262 setting to define the username for proxies that require a login.
265 #### NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD
268 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
269 | **Description:** | Password for proxies that require login |
270 | **Format:** | string |
271 | **Default:** | _empty_ |
273 When [NOMINATIM_HTTP_PROXY](#nominatim_http_proxy) is enabled, use this
274 setting to define the password for proxies that require a login.
277 #### NOMINATIM_OSM2PGSQL_BINARY
280 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
281 | **Description:** | Location of the osm2pgsql binary |
282 | **Format:** | path |
283 | **Default:** | _empty_ (use binary shipped with Nominatim) |
284 | **Comment:** | EXPERT ONLY |
286 Nominatim uses [osm2pgsql](https://osm2pgsql.org) to load the OSM data
287 initially into the database. Nominatim comes bundled with a version of
288 osm2pgsql that is guaranteed to be compatible. Use this setting to use
289 a different binary instead. You should do this only when you know exactly
290 what you are doing. If the osm2pgsql version is not compatible, then the
294 #### NOMINATIM_WIKIPEDIA_DATA_PATH
297 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
298 | **Description:** | Directory with the wikipedia importance data |
299 | **Format:** | path |
300 | **Default:** | _empty_ (project directory) |
302 Set a custom location for the
303 [wikipedia ranking file](../admin/Import.md#wikipediawikidata-rankings). When
304 unset, Nominatim expects the data to be saved in the project directory.
306 #### NOMINATIM_ADDRESS_LEVEL_CONFIG
309 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
310 | **Description:** | Configuration file for rank assignments |
311 | **Format:** | path |
312 | **Default:** | address-levels.json |
314 The _address level configuration_ defines the rank assignments for places. See
315 [Place Ranking](Ranking.md) for a detailed explanation what rank assignments
316 are and what the configuration file must look like.
318 When a relative path is given, then the file is searched first relative to the
319 project directory and then in the global settings directory.
322 #### NOMINATIM_IMPORT_STYLE
325 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
326 | **Description:** | Configuration to use for the initial OSM data import |
327 | **Format:** | string or path |
328 | **Default:** | extratags |
330 The _style configuration_ describes which OSM objects and tags are taken
331 into consideration for the search database. Nominatim comes with a set
332 of pre-configured styles, that may be configured here.
334 You can also write your own custom style and point the setting to the file
335 with the style. When a relative path is given, then the style file is searched
336 first relative to the project directory and then in the global settings
339 See [Import Styles](Import-Styles.md)
340 for more information on the available internal styles and the format of the
343 #### NOMINATIM_FLATNODE_FILE
346 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
347 | **Description:** | Location of osm2pgsql flatnode file |
348 | **Format:** | path |
349 | **Default:** | _empty_ (do not use a flatnote file) |
350 | **After Changes:** | Only change when moving the file physically. |
352 The `osm2pgsql flatnode file` is file that efficiently stores geographic
353 location for OSM nodes. For larger imports it can significantly speed up
354 the import. When this option is unset, then osm2pgsql uses a PsotgreSQL table
355 to store the locations.
357 When a relative path is given, then the flatnode file is created/searched
358 relative to the project directory.
362 The flatnode file is not only used during the initial import but also
363 when adding new data with `nominatim add-data` or `nominatim replication`.
364 Make sure you keep the flatnode file around and this setting unmodified,
365 if you plan to add more data or run regular updates.
368 #### NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_*
371 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
372 | **Description:** | Group of settings for distributing the database over tablespaces |
373 | **Format:** | string |
374 | **Default:** | _empty_ (do not use a table space) |
375 | **After Changes:** | no effect after initial import |
377 Nominatim allows to distribute the search database over up to 10 different
378 [PostgreSQL tablespaces](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/manage-ag-tablespaces.html).
379 If you use this option, make sure that the tablespaces exist before starting
382 The available tablespace groups are:
384 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_SEARCH_DATA
385 : Data used by the geocoding frontend.
387 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_SEARCH_INDEX
388 : Indexes used by the geocoding frontend.
390 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_OSM_DATA
391 : Raw OSM data cache used for import and updates.
393 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_OSM_DATA
394 : Indexes on the raw OSM data cache.
396 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_PLACE_DATA
397 : Data table with the pre-filtered but still unprocessed OSM data.
398 Used only during imports and updates.
400 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_PLACE_INDEX
401 : Indexes on raw data table. Used only during imports and updates.
403 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_ADDRESS_DATA
404 : Data tables used for computing search terms and addresses of places
405 during import and updates.
407 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_ADDRESS_INDEX
408 : Indexes on the data tables for search term and address computation.
409 Used only for import and updates.
411 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_AUX_DATA
412 : Auxiliary data tables for non-OSM data, e.g. for Tiger house number data.
414 NOMINATIM_TABLESPACE_AUX_INDEX
415 : Indexes on auxiliary data tables.
418 ### Replication Update Settings
420 #### NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_URL
423 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
424 | **Description:** | Base URL of the replication service |
425 | **Format:** | url |
426 | **Default:** | https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/minute |
427 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim replication --init` |
429 Replication services deliver updates to OSM data. Use this setting to choose
430 which replication service to use. See [Updates](../admin/Update.md) for more
431 information on how to set up regular updates.
433 #### NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_MAX_DIFF
436 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
437 | **Description:** | Maximum amount of data to download per update cycle (in MB) |
438 | **Format:** | integer |
439 | **Default:** | 50 |
440 | **After Changes:** | restart the replication process |
442 At each update cycle Nominatim downloads diffs until either no more diffs
443 are available on the server (i.e. the database is up-to-date) or the limit
444 given in this setting is exceeded. Nominatim guarantees to downloads at least
445 one diff, if one is available, no matter how small the setting.
447 The default for this setting is fairly conservative because Nominatim keeps
448 all data downloaded in one cycle in RAM. Using large values in a production
449 server may interfere badly with the search frontend because it evicts data
450 from RAM that is needed for speedy answers to incoming requests. It is usually
451 a better idea to keep this setting lower and run multiple update cycles
452 to catch up with updates.
454 When catching up in non-production mode, for example after the initial import,
455 the setting can easily be changed temporarily on the command line:
457 NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_MAX_DIFF=3000 nominatim replication
460 #### NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL
463 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
464 | **Description:** | Publication interval of the replication service (in seconds) |
465 | **Format:** | integer |
466 | **Default:** | 75 |
467 | **After Changes:** | restart the replication process |
469 This setting determines when Nominatim will attempt to download again a new
470 update. The time is computed from the publication date of the last diff
471 downloaded. Setting this to a slightly higher value than the actual
472 publication interval avoids unnecessary rechecks.
475 #### NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_RECHECK_INTERVAL
478 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
479 | **Description:** | Wait time to recheck for a pending update (in seconds) |
480 | **Format:** | integer |
481 | **Default:** | 60 |
482 | **After Changes:** | restart the replication process |
484 When replication updates are run in continuous mode (using `nominatim replication`),
485 this setting determines how long Nominatim waits until it looks for updates
486 again when updates were not available on the server.
488 Note that this is different from
489 [NOMINATIM_REPLICATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL](#nominatim_replication_update_interval).
490 Nominatim will never attempt to query for new updates for UPDATE_INTERVAL
491 seconds after the current database date. Only after the update interval has
492 passed it asks for new data. If then no new data is found, it waits for
493 RECHECK_INTERVAL seconds before it attempts again.
497 #### NOMINATIM_CORS_NOACCESSCONTROL
500 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
501 | **Description:** | Send permissive CORS access headers |
502 | **Format:** | boolean |
503 | **Default:** | yes |
504 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
506 When this setting is enabled, API HTTP responses include the HTTP
507 [CORS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORS) headers
508 `access-control-allow-origin: *` and `access-control-allow-methods: OPTIONS,GET`.
510 #### NOMINATIM_MAPICON_URL
513 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
514 | **Description:** | URL prefix for static icon images |
515 | **Format:** | url |
516 | **Default:** | _empty_ |
517 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
519 When a mapicon URL is configured, then Nominatim includes an additional `icon`
520 field in the responses, pointing to an appropriate icon for the place type.
522 Map icons used to be included in Nominatim itself but now have moved to the
523 [nominatim-ui](https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-ui/) project. If you
524 want the URL to be included in API responses, make the `/mapicon`
525 directory of the project available under a public URL and point this setting
529 #### NOMINATIM_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE
532 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
533 | **Description:** | Language of responses when no language is requested |
534 | **Format:** | language code |
535 | **Default:** | _empty_ (use the local language of the feature) |
536 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
538 Nominatim localizes the place names in responses when the corresponding
539 translation is available. Users can request a custom language setting through
540 the HTTP accept-languages header or through the explicit parameter
541 [accept-languages](../api/Search.md#language-of-results). If neither is
542 given, it falls back to this setting. If the setting is also empty, then
543 the local languages (in OSM: the name tag without any language suffix) is
547 #### NOMINATIM_SEARCH_BATCH_MODE
550 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
551 | **Description:** | Enable a special batch query mode |
552 | **Format:** | boolean |
553 | **Default:** | no |
554 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
555 | **Comment:** | PHP frontend only |
558 This feature is currently undocumented and potentially broken.
561 #### NOMINATIM_SEARCH_NAME_ONLY_THRESHOLD
564 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
565 | **Description:** | Threshold for switching the search index lookup strategy |
566 | **Format:** | integer |
567 | **Default:** | 500 |
568 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
569 | **Comment:** | PHP frontend only |
571 This setting defines the threshold over which a name is no longer considered
572 as rare. When searching for places with rare names, only the name is used
573 for place lookups. Otherwise the name and any address information is used.
575 This setting only has an effect after `nominatim refresh --word-counts` has
576 been called to compute the word frequencies.
579 #### NOMINATIM_LOOKUP_MAX_COUNT
582 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
583 | **Description:** | Maximum number of OSM ids accepted by /lookup |
584 | **Format:** | integer |
585 | **Default:** | 50 |
586 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
588 The /lookup point accepts list of ids to look up address details for. This
589 setting restricts the number of places a user may look up with a single
593 #### NOMINATIM_POLYGON_OUTPUT_MAX_TYPES
596 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
597 | **Description:** | Number of different geometry formats that may be returned |
598 | **Format:** | integer |
600 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
602 Nominatim supports returning full geometries of places. The geometries may
603 be requested in different formats with one of the
604 [`polygon_*` parameters](../api/Search.md#polygon-output). Use this
605 setting to restrict the number of geometry types that may be requested
608 Setting this parameter to 0 disables polygon output completely.
611 #### NOMINATIM_SEARCH_WITHIN_COUNTRIES
614 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
615 | **Description:** | Disable search for elements that are not in the country grid |
616 | **Format:** | boolean |
617 | **Default:** | no |
618 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
619 | **Comment:** | PHP frontend only |
621 Enable to search elements just within countries.
623 When enabled, if, despite not finding a point within the static grid of countries, it
624 finds a geometry of a region, do not return the geometry.
625 Return "Unable to geocode" instead.
628 #### NOMINATIM_SERVE_LEGACY_URLS
631 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
632 | **Description:** | Enable serving via URLs with a .php suffix |
633 | **Format:** | boolean |
634 | **Default:** | yes |
635 | **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
637 When enabled, then endpoints are reachable as `/<name>` as well as `/<name>.php`.
638 This can be useful when you want to be backwards-compatible with previous
639 versions of Nominatim.
642 #### NOMINATIM_API_POOL_SIZE
645 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
646 | **Description:** | Number of parallel database connections per worker |
647 | **Format:** | number |
648 | **Default:** | 10 |
649 | **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
651 Sets the maximum number of database connections available for a single instance
652 of Nominatim. When configuring the maximum number of connections that your
653 PostgreSQL database can handle, you need at least
654 `NOMINATIM_API_POOL_SIZE` * `<number of configured workers>` connections.
655 For configuring the number of workers, refer to the section about
656 [Deploying the Python frontend](../admin/Deployment-Python.md).
658 #### NOMINATIM_QUERY_TIMEOUT
661 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
662 | **Description:** | Timeout for SQL queries to the database |
663 | **Format:** | number (seconds) |
664 | **Default:** | 10 |
665 | **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
667 When this timeout is set, then all SQL queries that run longer than the
668 specified numbers of seconds will be cancelled and the user receives a
669 timeout exceptions. Users of the API see a 503 HTTP error.
671 The timeout does ont apply when using the
672 [low-level DB access](../library/Low-Level-DB-Access.md)
673 of the library. A timeout can be manually set, if required.
676 #### NOMINATIM_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
679 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
680 | **Description:** | Timeout for search queries |
681 | **Format:** | number (seconds) |
682 | **Default:** | 60 |
683 | **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
685 When this timeout is set, a search query will finish sending queries
686 to the database after the timeout has passed and immediately return the
687 results gathered so far.
689 Note that under high load you may observe that users receive different results
690 than usual without seeing an error. This may cause some confusion.
694 #### NOMINATIM_LOG_DB
697 | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
698 | **Description:** | Log requests into the database |
699 | **Format:** | boolean |
700 | **Default:** | no |
701 | **After Changes:** | run `nominatim refresh --website` |
703 Enable logging requests into a database table with this setting. The logs
704 can be found in the table `new_query_log`.
706 When using this logging method, it is advisable to set up a job that
707 regularly clears out old logging information. Nominatim will not do that
710 Can be used as the same time as NOMINATIM_LOG_FILE.
712 #### NOMINATIM_LOG_FILE

716 | **Description:** | Log requests into a file |
717 | **Format:** | path |

721 Enable logging of requests into a file with this setting by setting the log
722 file where to log to. A relative file name is assumed to be relative to
723 the project directory.
726 The entries in the log file have the following format:
728 <request time> <execution time in s> <number of results> <type> "<query string>"
730 Request time is the time when the request was started. The execution time is
731 given in seconds and corresponds to the time the query took executing in PHP.
732 type contains the name of the endpoint used.
734 Can be used as the same time as NOMINATIM_LOG_DB.

740 | **Description:** | Enable printing of raw SQL by SQLAlchemy |
741 | **Format:** | boolean |
742 | **Default:** | no |
743 | **Comment:** | **For developers only.** |
745 This settings enables
746 [SQL debugging](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/core/engines.html#dbengine-logging)
747 by SQLAlchemy. This can be helpful when debugging some bugs with internal
748 query handling. It should only be used together with the CLI query functions.
749 Enabling it for server mode may have unintended consequences. Use the `debug`
750 parameter instead, which prints information on how the search is executed
751 including SQL statements.
