regression=# show autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor;
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor
--------------------------------
0.2

-- edit postgresql.conf ...
regression=# select pg_reload_conf();
pg_reload_conf

(1 row)
regression=# show autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor;
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor
--------------------------------
0.25
(1 row)
regression=#
