Hibernate logs SQL executed to the 'org.hibernate.SQL' category on one line. And the parameters/return value to the 'org.hibernate.type.*' categories, each on their own line.

Is there any way to get a condensed version of the parameters on a single line?

Our custom framework does this now and our logs are >4GBs per day, much of which is SQL. We're concerned that when we migrate to Hibernate the size of our logs will greatly increase because of the items we include in our patternlayout for each line (none of which can be removed).

thanks.

log4j configuration issue...right? check out the log4j.properties in your classpath.

No, log4j is configured fine. Hibernate calls the log method (debug()) once for each parameter, which can get very verbose. I would like to know if there is any way for it to call the log method one time with all of the parameters.

Yes - I see what you want, but that would mean that the actual hibernate code has a mode, that would concate and batch its output... and I have never heard of such a mechanism...nor would I think that it is available.

To trim the log size - don't run in DEBUG mode, and/or run an external process to kill or archive old log files. (I think that is configurable in log4j also).
