[HACKERS] Additional startup logging
It seems potentially useful to LOG the version() string in the log file during startup. It might also help to LOG any settings which might result in the loss of committed transactions or in database corruption during startup. (After a crash, the postgresql.conf file might not show the values which were in effect during startup, and it is too late to show the values.) -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

I think such logs depends on purposes, so they should be customizable. You could write a module, that is registered in 'shared_preload_libraries' and logs internal information you want from _PG_init() or shmem_startup_hook.

For long-running systems, you may not have the beginning of the log file. Perhaps a method of dumping the version and/or setting information on demand (or perhaps at the beginning of each log file?): Shouldn't be too hard to put together a function which prints out such information via RAISE even now using PL/pgSQL.
