I'm not sure if we've done a reload. I'm in an academic environment and our department is in a state of flux right now. I'm in the process of trying to get up to speed on postgreSQL as fast as I can. Here is the result set from that query.

select * from pg_settings where name = 'autovacuum';
name | setting | unit | category | short_desc |
extra_desc | context | vartype |       source       | min_val | max_val
------------+---------+------+------------ +-----------------------------------+-
-----------+---------+---------+--------------------+---------+---------
autovacuum | on | | Autovacuum | Starts the autovacuum subprocess. |
           | sighup  | bool    | configuration file |         |
(1 row)

Thank you,

Carol

I certainly appreciate the help you've given.  Here's what the code

Do you know if you have done a reload of the config files since these were changed? Try doing a select * from pg_settings where name ~ 'autovacuum' to
see what your db is currently using.
