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.:Right now we have log_min_error_statement: #log_min_error_statement = panic # Values in order of increasing severity: # debug5, debug4, debug3, debug2, debug1, # 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.
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
