THE LOG DIALOG The Log Dialog is a text area where commands sent to the Postgres backend, and the backend's responses and notices, are logged. You open the Log Dialog by selecting the Message Log item from the File menu, or by pressing the View Log button from the Execute Dialog (see the EXECUTE DIALOG section). Queries entered from the Execute Dialog are logged using inverse colors, while the backend's responses and notices are logged using normal colors. Most queries issued by xpg (except for those directly entered in the Execute Dialog) are not logged, but warning messages are always popped-up when needed. In particular, queries originating from xpg scripts are not logged, simply because it is not always desired. This way you can create scripts serving as "black boxes" from the user's point of view; they execute commands which can not be traced by the user. The Close button closes the Log Dialog. The Clear Messages button clears the logging area.
