Thread: Win32 pg_autovacuum service retry patch

Apologies in advance as my original attempt to send this message may well get
through in a day or so now that Bob the Builder has finished digging up my
fibre and copper and the telco has set about joining them all back together and
burying them again.

Anyway... the attached patch to pg_autovacuum follows Tom's earlier suggestion
that it re-try the inital database connection every 30 seconds for 5 minutes
before aborting when starting as a Windows Service.

Any chance of getting this in before 8.0.1?

Cheers, Dave.
