I added the following line to postgresql.conf file: log_line_prefix='%t %u %d %h %p %i %l %x ' but got error. 2007-11-29 12:40:41 LOG: syntax error in file "D:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/data/postgresql.conf" line 482, near token "%" I checked and all options are legal. What I'm doing wrong ? Why error message does not show exact information about error ? Andrus.

I still can't duplicate that --- the only way I can get that error is to leave out the first ' mark. What PG version are you using? Back in 8.0 there used to be some odd corner cases if the last line didn't end with a newline character, though AFAIR that still wouldn't produce exactly this symptom. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
