But that avoids the problem because you *do* have an escape, and thus more than one possible logfilename. If we treat no-escape as meaning a constant filename, there is no rotation possible, other than rotation through truncation which doesn't seem likely to be useful to anyone. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
