But I don't care that much.
OK, at least we understand each other. Right now we don't have any special "syntax error" log processing. We have errors logged through log_min_error_statement, and mod/ddl through the new log_statement. I can see a use case for having mod/ddl control of logging, and error control of logging, but why would you want to see syntax error queries but not other error queries? That's why I think log_min_error_statement is sufficient. If we add syntax logging, wouldn't that conflict with log_min_error_statement logging, because those are errors too. Maybe we need to add a 'synax' mode to log_min_error_statement above error that logs only syntax errors but not others. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
