#### NOMINATIM_UPDATE_FORWARD_DEPENDENCIES
| Summary | |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description:** | Forward geometry changes to dependet objects |
| **Format:** | bool |
| **Default:** | no |
| **Comment:** | EXPERT ONLY. Must not be enabled after import. |
The geometry of OSM ways and relations may change when a node that is part
of the object is moved around. These changes are not propagated per default.
The geometry of ways/relations is only updated the next time that the object
itself is touched. When enabling this option, then dependent objects will
be marked for update when one of its member objects changes.
Enabling this option may slow down updates significantly.
!!! warning
If you want to enable this option, it must be set already on import.
Do not enable this option on an existing database that was imported with
NOMINATIM_UPDATE_FORWARD_DEPENDENCIES=no.
Updates will become unusably slow.

#### NOMINATIM_SERVE_LEGACY_URLS
| Summary | |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description:** | Enable serving via URLs with a .php suffix |
| **Format:** | boolean |
| **Default:** | yes |
| **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
When enabled, then endpoints are reachable as `/<name>` as well as `/<name>.php`.
This can be useful when you want to be backwards-compatible with previous
versions of Nominatim.
#### NOMINATIM_API_POOL_SIZE
| Summary | |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description:** | Number of parallel database connections per worker |
| **Format:** | number |
| **Default:** | 10 |
| **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
Sets the maximum number of database connections available for a single instance
of Nominatim. When configuring the maximum number of connections that your
PostgreSQL database can handle, you need at least `<pool size> * <worker>`
connections.
#### NOMINATIM_QUERY_TIMEOUT
| Summary | |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description:** | Timeout for SQL queries to the database |
| **Format:** | number (seconds) |
| **Default:** | 10 |
| **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
When this timeout is set, then all SQL queries that run longer than the
specified numbers of seconds will be cancelled and the user receives a
timeout exceptions. Users of the API see a 503 HTTP error.
The timeout does ont apply when using the
[low-level DB access](../library/Low-Level-DB-Access.md)
of the library. A timeout can be manually set, if required.
#### NOMINATIM_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
| Summary | |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description:** | Timeout for search queries |
| **Format:** | number (seconds) |
| **Default:** | 60 |
| **Comment:** | Python frontend only |
When this timeout is set, a search query will finish sending queries
to the database after the timeout has passed and immediately return the
results gathered so far.
Note that under high load you may observe that users receive different results
than usual without seeing an error. This may cause some confusion.

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