Postgres logging and QtCreator

[feraudyh]

Hello,
I'm using a combination of Postgres and Qt. I dont know much about when Postgres creates a log file by default but it's supposed to send its log to stderr.
Does QTCreator allow for visualisation of output on stderr?

But probably the server is sending the log to its stderr, not the client. Right? Creator does not run your server. And it outputs stderr from your application by default.

In my case both are on the same machine

But they are different processes. Creator won't look into the server process (it is probably owned by a completely different user anyway).

Now strangely enough today I did see messages from PostgresSQl inside my application output pane.
Was it a case of using the right debug level?
In any case when one is overworked one makes mistakes.
Consider the case closed and thank you for your time.

It's all a matter of how you configure PostgreSQL. If it sends messages to the client, the client will receive them but the client itself cannot fetch them from the server.
