PostgreSql:8.4.1
Is there a way for me to tell postgres to clear the log file. Example: I have log files created with names corresponding to the days of the week. This way they overwrite each other every week. When I deploy software enhancements I would like to clear the log file for the day without having to stop postgres. This way anything I see I know was after the deployment of my enhancements. I tried to just delete the file with postgres running. I found that it did not recreate the log file so I was forced to restart postgres.
Is there a command that might clear a log file or force it to rotate?
Thanks,
