Need help on autovacuum in postgres 9.1.2 - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi

I need help in turning off autovacuum in the Database that’s running postgres 9.1.2 DB. I tried to turn it off by putting “off” in postgresql.cont file and restarted the postmaster but when I run “show autovacuum; “ query I still see autovacuum set on inside the database.

autovacuum

------------

on

(1 row)

postgresql.conf currently looks as follows. Should I remove the hash sign that’s before “autovacuum = off”    ?               

#autovacuum = off                       # Enable autovacuum subprocess?  'on'

#log_autovacuum_min_duration = -1       # -1 disables, 0 logs all actions and

#autovacuum_max_workers = 3             # max number of autovacuum subprocesses

#autovacuum_naptime = 1min              # time between autovacuum runs

#autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 50       # min number of row updates before

#autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 50      # min number of row updates before

#autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.2   # fraction of table size before vacuum

#autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor = 0.1  # fraction of table size before analyze

#autovacuum_freeze_max_age = 200000000  # maximum XID age before forced vacuum

#autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay = 20ms    # default vacuum cost delay for

                                        # autovacuum, in milliseconds;

#autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit = -1      # default vacuum cost limit for

                                        # autovacuum, -1 means use

Please assist.

Thanks
