    <para>This associates a value to the name in the Database 
    registry. The name should be a string and the value must be also string.
    </para>
    <para>Registry settings are kept in Database, therefore they are persistent.
</para>
    <para>Some registry variables are used solely by internal server routines so they should not be set by any application.
Some of these &quot;protected&quot; variables can be updated by DBA only (in built-in Virtuoso/PL routines)
whereas some can not be updated by any Virtuoso/PL routine at all.
If the function is called by DBA then a third argument can be specified to indicate how the function should try to update such a variable,
but you will probably never use this feature.
