Just wondering, psql clinet tool loggs issued commands into ~/.psql_history, which is VERY usefull. I exercise grep-ing the file extensively. But when it comes to command like "ALTER/CREATE USER ... PASSWORD" I'd rather have it NOT logged. This is not a major issue, since there are workarounds - temporary switching the logging off, etc. Still one have to keep thinking of that and I have forgot occasionally, still there might be admins which don't really care. The implementation should be fairly simple for psql author (I guess :), but I myself am not up to knowing if it really is. The problem looks simple: psql-tool should filter away 'sensitive' sql-commands, before putting them into the log? But the implementation is not so trivial, since it should take into account not filtering: "ALTER TABLE 'user' add column password text" and other such similarities, which should actually be logged. Comments? -- -R
