A while ago, before the separate loggers were implemented, I came up  
with a strategy to keep user/login engine logging quiet. It was:

# From memory, something like…

logger.silence do  
Engines.start  
end

This, of course, no longer works. Does anyone have a suggestion how to  
keep the rather extensive amount of SQL logging done by these engines  
out of the logs?

Thanks
