Description

Hi,
When I set the connection parameter's DateStyle to UTC, YMD, and query show datestyle;, it shows that that DateStyle is still the default UTC, MDY. But if I put junk value into DateStyle, an error is thrown like below, meaning that the DateStyle parameter is being used.
PostgresError: invalid value for parameter "DateStyle": "joewnjioq1"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the connection parameter set to UTC, YMD, then run show datestyle; and compare it with the junk-value case described in the report. Done means the requested DateStyle value is preserved and reported by PostgreSQL instead of reverting to UTC, MDY.
