Hmm, don't they show up as NOTICE messages? I think they should.
Maybe you could set a notice receiver and have it print to the same
file? I think I had to do that at some point.

Please test it and let's us know :-)

Yeah, probably. As far as I am concerned, the current PQtrace() code
was mostly written to allow us to develop libpq pipeline mode. (I don't
know what had Aya Iwata in mind when she wrote it.) For that, neither
NOTICE nor NOTIFY were very interesting, so I didn't stop to think about
them.

Yeah, I think that makes sense. Feel free to propose a patch.

OK, fair enough. If I ever do (fat chances), I'd add another opt-in flag
to make the trace machine readable (see my older thread about that).
Thanks Alvaro.
PS: I have my own notice handler for my CLI already.
But that goes to my CLI's stdout, not the trace file.
