The reason I didn't change the other uses was precisely that it was established behavior, but my opinion was that truncating them would be better, now that we have code to handle doing so. Maybe it would make sense to always log complete parameters for error cases when that feature is enabled, and have the GUC only control the lengths logged for non-error cases? -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
