At LOG level, this feels a bit chatty: it's a 100% increase in startup-time messages if you count both the main message and the HINT. I can't think of another program with configuration-directed logging that does this on every startup. Makes perfect sense to me at DEBUG1, though, and that would have been enough for the situation you cite above. -- Noah Misch EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
