The consistent prefix idea sounds good; does "logging_enable" jive with your proposal? Introduction of the term "collector" might be an overthink, and could confuse people. Your average postgres user tweaking his config file is going to see that and wonder what on earth a "log collector" is. Whereas it's generally understood that to "log" is to capture output and make it persistent, and "logging_enable" is clearly a setting that allows this to take place. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
