This is a follow up in addition to the log pid. It's a vanilla solution,
but we tried comments like this in the sql statements.

in perl:
$sql=$sql." -- IP=$ENV{REMOTE_ADDR},ID=$id,PAGE=$ENV{SCRIPT_FILENAME}";

or in jsp:
sql = "select ... from customers -- " + "url: " + request.getRequestURI()
+ " ip: " + request.getRemoteAddr();

This worked, and added the remote ip address and the page it came from
into the postgresql log nicely without needing a full setup. Till now we
didn't see a problem with it. Hoped someone might find this useful.
