Greetings,

Does pg open its logfile every time it writes or does it open the file and
hold it open as long as the postmaster is running?  Do I have to stop the
postmaster to rotate the logfile out or can I just move or delete it at any
time and pg will create a new logfile the next time it writes?

Thank you,
Matthew
