I just had a "huh?!" moment ... brought to you by the postgresql.conf file ... #client_min_messages = notice # Values, in order of decreasing detail: # debug5 # debug4 # debug3 # debug2 # debug1 # log # notice # warning # error log_min_messages = log # Values, in order of decreasing detail: # debug5 # debug4 # debug3 # debug2 # debug1 # info # notice # warning # error # log # fatal # panic Notice that the order is different between the two. Apparently, log is more verbose than notice for clients, but less verbose than notice for the log. Are these correct? Are there actually two different scales that work differently? If so, I need to reread some stuff ... If these are correct, may I be so bold as to suggest that normalizing these scales would be a worthwhile endeavor? -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
