Re: Parsing PG log usings CSV format

Thank you sir,

i have sorted out the problem on
" The columns that are not quoted are guaranteed not to contain a comma. "

But i have another query, the structure of PG Log CSV as mentioned in manual and as below has 24 columns
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-logging.html
-------------------------------------------

log_time timestamp,
user_name text,
database_name text,
process_id integer,
connection_from text,
session_id text,
session_line_num bigint,
command_tag text,
session_start_time timestamp,
virtual_transaction_id text,
transaction_id bigint,
error_severity text,
sql_state_code text,
message text,
detail text,
hint text,
internal_query text,
internal_query_pos integer,
context text,
query text,
query_pos integer,
location text,
application_name text,
PRIMARY KEY (session_id, session_line_num)
-------------------------------------------

However every Log line added contains only 22 columns, a sample log line is given below
-------------------------------------------

2012-03-22 15:29:53.546 IST,"postgres","stock_apals",2396,"localhost:2766",4f6af819.95c,9,"SELECT",2012-03-22 15:29:53 IST,3/0,0,LOG,00000,"QUERY STATISTICS","! system usage stats:
! 0.015000 elapsed 0.000000 user 0.015625 system sec
! [0.078125 user 0.062500 sys total]",,,,,"SELECT SUBSTR(itemname, 1, 15) as Product,
avg(rate) as Avgrate
FROM issue_stock WHERE extract(year from issue_stock.edate) = '2011'
GROUP BY itemname
order by itemname",,"ShowUsage, .\src\backend\tcop\postgres.c:4305",""
-------------------------------------------

Is this is a different Log format , can you guide us to a page where the column specifications can be matched.
