Would that mean I wouldn't be able to change the logging level on the fly at
all?
That would disappoint at least one user, myself. I've found the best debugging
compromise is to leave log_statement off in general but have a magic parameter
I can pass to the application that will set log_statement = true for a single
transaction.
That way I can look at what queries transpired in my session without having to
dig through hundreds of other queries from other sessions. And have the
complete logs for the session I'm debugging without the performance impact in
the normal case.
