RE: unable to write 'raise' messages to log file?

Hello Olivier,

Yes, I have used ‘notice’, ‘log’ and the various ‘debug’ levels but again none of my message show up in the log files.

I’ve tried flushing/rotating the log files by executing *‘select

the log files. I’ve tried calling my PL-pgSQL functions in
PSQL, PgAdmin4, OmniDB and ADO.NET <http://ADO.NET> <http://ADO.NET> but again my
messages never appear in the log file.

On very rare occasions, I see my messages the log file if I
restart the PostgreSql server however restarting the server
generally does not flush my messages to the log files.

Do they show up in a client? For example psql:

[snip]
test_(aklaver)> select testwithbasictypearguments(1, 2.5, 'test');
LOG: Test.TestWithArguments: i = 1, n = 2.5, t = test
testwithbasictypearguments

I've used the logs successfully here. What are the values of log_min_messages and log_min_error_statement in your postgresql.conf?

The settings are shown in the original post.

By any chance... did you try "RAISE NOTICE..." in your function? That's the level I usually use.
