show all and grep are your friend. From my laptop with 8.1:
decibel(at)phonebook(dot)1[16:36]~:4%psql -tc 'show all' | grep vacuum_cost_delay|tr -s ' '
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay | -1 | Vacuum cost delay in milliseconds, for autovacuum.
vacuum_cost_delay | 0 | Vacuum cost delay in milliseconds.
decibel(at)phonebook(dot)1[16:37]~:5%
I don't have a 7.4 copy around, but you can just check it yourself.
