Hello Adrian, Yes, if I call the function in PSQL then the expected message is displayed the console display. Here is what is displayed in PSQL: testdb=# select * from test.testwithbasictypearguments( 1, 2::numeric, '3' ); LOG: statement: select * from test.testwithbasictypearguments( 1, 2::numeric, '3' ); LOG: Test.TestWithArguments: i = 1, n = 2, t = 3 testwithbasictypearguments ---------------------------- 0 (1 row) testdb=# Ian -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Klaver [mailto:adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 31 May, 2018 15:07 To: ib@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: unable to write 'raise' messages to log file?

For example psql: test_(aklaver)> create or replace function TestWithBasicTypeArguments( i int, n numeric, t text) returns integer as $$ begin raise log 'Test.TestWithArguments: i = %, n = %, t = %', i, n, t; return 0; end; CREATE FUNCTION test_(aklaver)> set client_min_messages = 'debug1'; test_(aklaver)> select testwithbasictypearguments(1, 2.5, 'test'); LOG: Test.TestWithArguments: i = 1, n = 2.5, t = test testwithbasictypearguments ---------------------------- 0 (1 row) -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx
