The search_path isn't relevant to any log line that doesn't reference a query, since e.g. autovacuum log output fully qualifies its relation names, and many other common log lines have nothing to do with tables or queries. What if we instead had something like this, as an extra CONTEXT (or DETAIL) log line: LOG: duration: 4079.697 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM x WHERE y = $1 LIMIT $2 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'long string', $2 = '1' CONTEXT: settings: search_path = 'my_tenant_schema, "$user", public' That way you could determine that the slow query was affecting the "x" table in "my_tenant_schema". This log output would be controlled by a new GUC, e.g. "log_statement_search_path" with three settings: (1) never, (2) non_default, (3) always. The default would be "never" (same as today). "non_default" would output the search path when a SET has modified it in the current session (and so we couldn't infer it from the config or the role/database overrides). "always" would always output the search path for statement-related log lines. Thanks, Lukas -- Lukas Fittl
