Bug reference:      4281
Logged by:          thomas

PostgreSQL version: 8.3.3
Operating system:   Windows 2003
Description:        some types of errors do not log statements
Details:
this isn't really a bug but rather a request for an improvement.

i've noticed that in some cases of errornous sql statements, the statement
itself is logged to the pg_log, in other cases it isn't:

logged:

2008-07-05 01:53:02 CEST 3528 486eade5.dc8 10.1.1.71(53082)ERROR:  column
"xyz" does not exist at character 294
2008-07-05 01:53:02 CEST 3528 486eade5.dc8 10.1.1.71(53082)STATEMENT: SELECT xyz FROM test


not logged:

2008-07-05 02:16:15 CEST 6644 486ebab4.19f4 127.0.0.1(1616)ERROR:  invalid
byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xc474
2008-07-05 02:16:15 CEST 6644 486ebab4.19f4 127.0.0.1(1616)HINT:  This error
can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by
the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".


it would be usefull to always see the sql statement that provoked the error.
especially in the case of wrong utf byte sequences it can get very difficult
to find the point of failure without more information.

I am unclear what would cause this.  Is the STATEMENT: line coming from
log_statement?  What is the query that is not showing?


pretty much any query that has invalid utf8 byte code in it won't be shown in the logs. the particular problem was with an adserver tool (openX) that tried to insert iso-encoded data with umlauts (äüö) into an utf8 database.

for example it tried to insert the geolocation "Zürich" during a ad request logging which failed with:

" ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xFC"

without showing the actual query.

maybe its by design (to not insert badly encoded characters into the utf8 encoded logs)? nevertheless to debug those faulty programm/codes, it would help to see what query provokes the error...


> Is the STATEMENT: line coming from log_statement?

humm... don't know. pretty much standard out of the box pgsql installation, the postresql.conf settings are defaults.

thanks
