Description
Hi
I just watched the DB Library update @ robocon 2026, firstly nice work with the updates 👍
I have a suggestion to have a keyword something like Set Arg Default that people could use to set the default values for these new arguments like replace_robot_variables, split, external_parser, retry_timeout, etc
if you are running multiple SQL queries, it would be useful to set the default values for these arguments once rather than having to over-ride them every time.
Also being able to adjust these defaults on import would be good as well.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the library currently handles arguments for SQL queries and how options are configured on import. Define the behavior for a Set Arg Default keyword, including whether defaults can be changed during import and how per-query overrides interact with them. Done means the new defaults apply across multiple queries while explicit overrides still work.
