Re: [HACKERS] Instrumenting and Logging in JDBC

First I would ask what kind of logging you are talking about? I find
that simply turning on debug output on the server to print out the sql
statements being executed is generally all I need for logging, and the
server already supports that.

If your proposal it so use log4j for logging, then I would be opposed.
While logging is a good idea, having yet another non-postgresql
component that needs to be installed in order to build and/or run the
jdbc driver is in my opionion a bad idea. I already dislike the fact
that I have to install ant just to build the driver. It was so much
easier under 7.0 when make was all that was required.
