Perhaps I can wrap them at a very large line number? The problem is that we want a program to analyze the logs for us, and with the line breaks it is very difficult, although not impossible, to get a program to do this. pgFounie handles multi-line logs easilty. You might want to check it's source to get how. Or just use stderr logging (which is actually more stable). -- Vladimir Rusinov http://greenmice.info/

Perhaps I can wrap them at a very large line number? The problem we're up against is explained in src/backend/utils/error/elog.c: * Our problem here is that many syslog implementations don't handle long * messages in an acceptable manner. While this function doesn't help that * fact, it does work around by splitting up messages into smaller pieces. If you are fortunate enough to have a less-broken-than-average syslog facility, you could increase the PG_SYSLOG_LIMIT constant defined there. On the whole, though, I'd suggest not depending on syslog. It has other issues besides this one, like sometimes losing messages entirely. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
