Log question

development.log contains quite a few SELECTS on system tables like
COLUMNS. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to cache this info?

I’m also wondering about strings like “e[4;35;1m”. What’s their purpose
and is it possible to get rid of them? They look like screen coordinates
and makes no sense in a text file.

Column info is cached when you run in the production mode.

" [4;35;1m" sequence is a ANSI colors that make it much easier to look
at the
log file. If you run Unix you can benefit from this. On Windows I prefer
to
disable this feature but adding

config.active_record.colorize_logging = false

to my environment.rb file.
