Huh, thnx! :) Silly me, I tought that %i actually stands for 'SELECT *
FROM ...' :)

Why not? I need to have log_min_duration_statement set to 0 because I do
want every SQL sent to the postgres loged. It's essential in debugging.
But since for every SELECT i have at least 3 lines in my log file,
debugging is much harder (ok, not that harder, but still, it would be
much easier without it). It would be realy nice if one could turn that
off.

When I switch to JDBC driver for pg (pg74.215.jdbc3.jar), I have single
SELECT in a log for a SELECT sent from the client. I guess that's
because there is no prepared statements in pg74.215.jdbc3.jar, but that
is for pg-jdbc mailinglist.

10x again!
