RE: How to get the content of Bind variables

Hi

I have executed grep command on the entire logfile for pid 24803. See the attached file
NB : I have no DETAIL section in my entire log file. Is it normal ?

Best Reagrds

I just realized that your log is showing "STATEMENT: [...]" which I think means that's using libpq PQexec (simple query protocol), which means it doesn't use or support bind parameters at all. If it were using PQexecParams (protocol
2.0 "extended" query), it would show "execute <unnamed>: [...]", with any bind params in DETAIL. And if you were using PQexecPrepared, it'd show "execute
FOO: [...]" where FOO is the name of the statement "prepared" by PQprepare (plus bind params).

What client application is this ? It looks like it's going to set deletion_date to the literal string "$1" .. except that it's not quoted, so the statement will just cause an error. Am I wrong ?

Could you grep the entire logfile for pid 24803 and post the output on dropbox or pastebin or show 10 lines of context by email ?

I've just used my messages and test cases on this patch as a reference to check what I wrote above is accurate.

As I mentioned, you can set log_destination=csvlog,stderr and import them with COPY (and add indices and analysis and monitoring..). It look like DETAILs are being logged, so that's not the issue, but CSV also has the nice benefit of being easily imported to SQL where escaping and linebreaks and similar are not confusing the issue, which I think can be the case for text logs.
