The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 18343 Logged by: Christopher Kline Email address: kline.christopher@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 14.11 Operating system: Windows 10 x64 Description: In the default postgresql.conf that is generated, there are the following lines: #max_worker_processes = 8 # (change requires restart) #max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 2 # taken from max_parallel_workers <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THIS #max_parallel_maintenance_workers = 2 # taken from max_parallel_workers max_parallel_workers = 8 # maximum number of max_worker_processes that # can be used in parallel operations it indicates that the default value is taken from whatever max_parallel_workers is. However, if I start postgresql with those settings and issue a query of SELECT setting, unit FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'max_parallel_workers_per_gather' the result I get is '2', not '8'. This leads me to believe that either there is a bug in the code that's not setting the correct default, or the comment in postgresql.conf is incorrect.
