Reduce postgresql log verbosity - postgresql

Question

Every time I invoke a parameterized query I get too much output in the log file. For example, when inserting 3 users into a table I get the following log output:
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: duration: 0.000 ms parse <unnamed>: INSERT INTO users (login,role,password) VALUES
($1,$2,$3)
,($4,$5,$6)
,($7,$8,$9)
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: duration: 0.000 ms bind <unnamed>: INSERT INTO users (login,role,password) VALUES
($1,$2,$3)
,($4,$5,$6)
,($7,$8,$9)
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'guest', $2 = 'user', $3 = '123', $4 = 'admin', $5 = 'admin', $6 = '123', $7 = 'mark', $8 = 'power user', $9 = '123'
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: execute <unnamed>: INSERT INTO users (login,role,password) VALUES
($1,$2,$3)
,($4,$5,$6)
,($7,$8,$9)
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'guest', $2 = 'user', $3 = '123', $4 = 'admin', $5 = 'admin', $6 = '123', $7 = 'mark', $8 = 'power user', $9 = '123'
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: duration: 4.000 ms
Notice, that the whole query appears three times - for parse, for bind and for execute. And the complete set of parameters appears twice - for bind and for execute.
Note, that this extra verbosity is only present when running parameterized queries.
Here is my config:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\data>findstr log_ postgresql.conf
# "postgres -c log_connections=on". Some parameters can be changed at run time
log_destination = 'stderr' # Valid values are combinations of
log_directory = 'pg_log' # directory where log files are written,
log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log' # log file name pattern,
log_file_mode = 0600 # creation mode for log files,
#log_truncate_on_rotation = off # If on, an existing log file with the
#log_rotation_age = 1d # Automatic rotation of logfiles will
#log_rotation_size = 10MB # Automatic rotation of logfiles will
#syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0'
#syslog_ident = 'postgres'
log_min_messages = notice # values in order of decreasing detail:
log_min_error_statement = error # values in order of decreasing detail:
log_min_duration_statement = 0 # -1 is disabled, 0 logs all statements
#log_checkpoints = off
#log_connections = off
#log_disconnections = off
#log_duration = off
#log_error_verbosity = default # terse, default, or verbose messages
#log_hostname = off
log_line_prefix = '%t ' # special values:
#log_lock_waits = off # log lock waits >= deadlock_timeout
log_statement = 'all' # none, ddl, mod, all
#log_temp_files = -1 # log temporary files equal or larger
log_timezone = 'US/Eastern'
#log_parser_stats = off
#log_planner_stats = off
#log_executor_stats = off
#log_statement_stats = off
#log_autovacuum_min_duration = -1 # -1 disables, 0 logs all actions and
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\data>
So, my question is how can I reduce the verbosity of the log for parameterized queries without affecting the other queries? Ideally, I would like to have the query SQL and its parameters logged just once.

Answer 1

I don't think that's possible out of the box. You could write a logging hook and filter log entries.

Answer 2

The same issue I was facing before Above config which you have mentioned just change log_min_duration_statement=-1 ( disable) the query will be once only logged
BUT you have enabled the duration it will just log duration 3 times but not the query
Like
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: duration: 0.000 ms
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: duration: 0.000 ms
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: execute <unnamed>: INSERT INTO users (login,role,password) VALUES
($1,$2,$3)
,($4,$5,$6)
,($7,$8,$9)
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'guest', $2 = 'user', $3 = '123', $4 = 'admin', $5 = 'admin', $6 = '123', $7 = 'mark', $8 = 'power user', $9 = '123'
2013-10-29 06:01:43 EDT LOG: duration: 4.000 ms
