 As with the `DEALLOCATE DATABASES FROM SERVER ...` command, if the alteration of a server's options renders it impossible for the cluster to satisfy one or more of the databases' topologies, then the command fails and no changes are made.

 Input provided to `SET OPTIONS {...}` replaces **all** existing options, rather than being combined with them.
-For instance if `SET OPTIONS {modeConstraint:'SECONDARY'}` is executed followed by `SET OPTIONS {allowedDatabases:['foo']}`, the execution of the second `ALTER` removes the mode constraint.

+Any previously set values must be specified every time you run the `ALTER SERVER` command; otherwise they will be overwritten to the unset values.

+For instance, you run two statements one after the other:
