Hi Everybody, I have read chapter 17 of the current manual and learned interesting options. But as I compare what's in the postgresql.conf file to what I think I comprehend, I am a slightly confused:
In the conf file I see log_destination is set as 'stderr' and redirect_stderr is set as off AND they are both commented out. Yet, I am accumulating log entries into serverlog file. To me this is a fine default setting. So my question amounts to be the following: Can I just uncomment log_line_prefix entry and stick what I want (such as %u, %d, %m, etc) into the quotes and expect to see the logged lines be prefixed with username, database name, timestamp, etc with all other things intact? I come from change-as-few- things-as-possible-at-one-time-school. Thank you in advance. Regards, Tena Sakai [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Joshua D.
