From 00dcbb9cc04be40048e1563330c1307f56a645b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baji Shaik Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2026 20:25:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH v3] doc: say where autovacuum_max_parallel_workers can be set The parameter is PGC_SIGHUP, like the other autovacuum settings, but unlike them its description doesn't say it can only be set in postgresql.conf or on the server command line, nor that it can be overridden per-table. Add the usual sentence, and link to the corresponding table storage parameter: the reloption is named autovacuum_parallel_workers while the GUC is autovacuum_max_parallel_workers, so the link makes the connection clear. Backpatch to 19, where the parameter was added.
