I am testing the monitoring of the postgresql 8.1.4 - I have found that
I would like to suppress some things from the log

For example if I type some random rubbish into the database instead of
select.... I get an error message logged into the server logfile like:-

2006-08-17 14:19:00.965 BST 10109 # ERROR: syntax error at or near
"kshdfkjh" at character 1
2006-08-17 14:19:00.965 BST 10109 # STATEMENT: kshdfkjh;

More importantly I have deleted a file from the database tables and when
I try to query data in the file I get the error:-

2006-08-17 14:14:30.922 BST 10085 # ERROR: could not open relation
1663/16384/16385: No such file or directory
2006-08-17 14:14:30.922 BST 10085 # STATEMENT: select * from rs_vacuum;

These are both logged as ERROR: which is easy to check for with
automatic monitoring. However I wouldn't want to be called out to fix a
non-existent error where someone has typed in some nonsense. Is it easy
to suppress the syntax errors so that the real database errors are
obvious?
