Right now we have log_min_error_statement:

                                         #   info, notice, warning, error, panic(off)

which does allow control of printing only statements generating errors,
which includes syntax errors.  I don't see why this functionality should
be mixed in with log_statement.

Did you want a 'syntax error' level to log_statement, that would print
only statements with syntax errors but not other errors?  That doesn't
seem very useful to me.





It wasn't my idea, but I thought it was a good one. But it would go along with the idea of these settings as a list instead of a hierarchy, e.g.:

log_statement = "syntax-errors, ddl, mod"

In fact, I liked it so much that I thought "syntax-errors" should be the default instead of "none".

I think I'd prefer that to having it tied to the log_min_error_statement level. 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,Thinks  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.




Thinks .... experiments .... yes, OK, I agree. Please forgive any denseness. Not sure if we need another level.


Why do we have log_min_error_statement default to PANIC level? Wouldn't ERROR be a better default?

cheers
