I'm running PG 8.3rc2 to start testing it out, and really like how it is
preforming for me so far. However, I have one question on the logging. I
am trying to use syslog and csvlog to log all sql. This seems to work great
except that for every log rotation postgres does, I get a .csv log file that
grows and a 0 byte .log file. Since I'm not logging to stderr, why is the
.log file being created, and how do I turn that off?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
Relevent config file portion:

# - Where to Log -
log_destination = 'syslog,csvlog' # Valid values are
combinations of

# requires logging_collector to be
on.
# This is used when logging to stderr:

csvlog

for
# csvlogs.
# (change requires restart)
# These are only used if logging_collector is on:

PGDATA

is
