Yeah, it would be really good to be able to log that without bumping the log levels of the server in general to DEBUG3. On a busy production server, using any of the DEBUG levels is pretty much out of the question ... they can produce up to 1GB/minute in output. -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
