Yes, I know about the hack that AR uses to make the Logger format friendlier.
The thing is it imposes it's idea of friendliness in a global scale (as I remember it was necessary with the 1.8.2 Logger due to the rigidness of the format). This seriously gets on my nerves.
How can I reinstate my Logger format and apply it to active record?
It is and it's not really a Rails question, as I only use AR

# I found no clean sollution, but maybe this can help ya:
#
begin
define = 'def format_message severity, timestamp, program_name, message'
default = '( @formatter || @default_formatter ).call ' +
'severity, timestamp, program_name, message'
format ||= default
Logger.class_eval [ define, format, 'end' ].join('; ')
end
#
# You can define format beforehand to something like '"#{ timestamp }: message"'
# Per default it's overwritten with Logger.format_message method

Oh, I found a much cleaner solution:
class MyLogFormatter<Logger::Formatter
MyLogFormat = "[%s] %5s -- %s: %s\n"
def call severity,time,progname,msg
MyLogFormat % [format_datetime(time), severity, progname, msg2str(msg)]
end
end
logger.formatter=MyLogFormatter.new
logger.formatter.datetime_format="%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S"
It's not exactly documented (at least the RDoc in ruby-doc stil contains the comment about having to hack the Format constant). This way you can play with the format constant used and not mess with the logger internals.
