Interesting ...

The final query is a bit unwieldy. I wonder if this would work

CREATE TABLE generic_pglog (
log_time timestamp(3) with time zone,
user_name text,
database_name text,
process_id integer,
connection_from text,
session_id text,
session_line_num bigint,
command_tag text,
session_start_time timestamp with time zone,
virtual_transaction_id text,
transaction_id bigint,
error_severity text,
sql_state_code text,
message text,
detail text,
hint text,
internal_query text,
internal_query_pos integer,
context text,
query text,
query_pos integer,
location text,
application_name text
);

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE pglog (LIKE generic_pglog) SERVER pglog
OPTIONS ( filename '/home/josh/9.1/data/pg_log/pglog.csv', format 'csv' );

Note that you have a "Not" instead of "now" in the last paragraph.
