I want to log all SQL commands as an executable script file for use in performance testing. Currently there is a lot of information in the log that is generated that would not be executable. Below is an example of what I would want to see; which is just the SQL.
Example of log output: Select a,b,c from calendar where a=12; Select a,b,c from calendar where a=13; Example: 1) I would take a snap shot of our production database. 2) I would then turn on SQL logging. 3) I would put the copy of the database onto a test server. 4) After a few days of logging the SQL commands I would copy the file to the test server. 5) I would then have a basic script that would display the start time, execute the postgres SQL log (pgsql -d database_name -f sql_log_file_name), and then display the end time. Now I can test configuration changes and index modifications on real world data to see what impact the changes would have. I just keep reloading the database, change the configurations settings, and then execute the script again. The key is that the SQL log be in a format that can be executed as a postgres SQL file. How do I do this? Thanks, Lance Campbell Project Manager/Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs University of Illinois 217.333.0382 http://webservices.uiuc.edu
