I'd argue that the first line of attack on that should be to explain to those consumers of logs that they are making some unwarranted assumptions about the kind of inputs they'll be seeing. PostgreSQL's CSV log formats are not a particular bizarre format, or very difficult to parse. The standard Python CSV library handles them just file, for example. You have to handle newlines that are part of a log message somehow; a newline in a PostgreSQL query, for example, needs to be emitted to the logs. -- -- Christophe Pettus x...@thebuild.com
