Are those lines sent to the elog as one write() or separate ones --- do
they always appear together in the log?
I had a new idea on output format. Instead of converting newline to
"\n", and double-escaping backslashes, we add a tab after any newline,
so the output looks like:
LOG: duration: 4.035 ms query: select *
from pg_language;
This makes the logs look better, and it is easier for script to grab
queries. Grep doesn't work as well, but I think that is OK.
