The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5734 Logged by: Mark Stosberg Email address: m...@summersault.com PostgreSQL version: 9.0.1 Operating system: FreeBSD Description: autovacuum_enabled input should be validated, standardized. Details:
The "autovacuum_enabled" storage parameter claims to be a boolean type: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-createtable.html#SQL-CREATETAB LE-STORAGE-PARAMETERS ... but it fails to behave a normal boolean. Normally, you could set a boolean with a value of false, 'off' or 'f', but you would always get back a value of 'f' With this value, there is no translation. I think this kind of boolean should be handled like a standard PostgreSQL boolean. I noticed because the Slony code base has a hardcoded check for "autovacuum_enabled=off", when a false value could also be stored as autovacuum_enabled=f We should be able to rely on this value being always returned as "autovacuum_enabled='f'" just a normal boolean would.
