Hi, Robert Treat reminded me the other day that we don't currently save pg_autovacuum settings on pg_dump. This is expected, because we don't want to dump pg_autovacuum as a regular table, or it would force us to accept loading that forever; nor we do have ALTER TABLE commands to do it on a higher level, because there wasn't agreement that it should be implemented this early on autovacuum's life.
Expected or not, fact is it's not user friendly. We should at least document this somewhere so users can take care of it by themselves. Not sure where does it belong though. The autovacuum section, the backup section? Does it merit a mention on the release notes? Suggestions welcome. -- Alvaro Herrera -- Valdivia, Chile Architect, www.EnterpriseDB.com "¿Que diferencia tiene para los muertos, los huérfanos, y aquellos que han perdido su hogar, si la loca destrucción ha sido realizada bajo el nombre del totalitarismo o del santo nombre de la libertad y la democracia?"
