Hm, I think you'd usually want to adjust the verbosity of log messages when you *run* code, not when you *write* it. That's the raison d'etre for having logging infrastructure and verbosity settings, after all. When I'm running a function from psql interactively, I probably want to suppress CONTEXT and maybe STATEMENT lines for NOTICEs - presumably the message itself tells me everything I need to know. When I'm running the same function in a setting where there messages go to a log file, I probably want to include as much context information as necessary in order to be able to debug possible problems post-mortem. Having said that, having the option to not emit CONTEXT lines in the first place wouldn't hurt of course. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
