My original patch infact uses log_line_prefix. So the user can fill in the columns he wants by turning on appropriate settings in log_line_prefix. The columns which he hasn't turned on will be output as NULL in the sql outptut. But I can also see merit in others' request that it is ideal to have all possible info in the sql log, so that once the log is loaded into the table, it can be queried, sub-tabled, created view to analyze it in whatever way.....
