Re: Postgres SQL Monitor tool

Hi Theo,

yes you can log every SQL statement.
Just edit the postgresql.conf and delete the remark (#) from the following line:
#log_statement = false

Then restart postgres.

After this you can find every statement in the postgresql.log. On Gentoo you can
find this log in /var/lib/postgresql/data.

But keep in mind that logging every statement takes a lot of time.

Best regards
Lutz
