You could try enabling the 'log_statement' and related entries in the
postgresql.conf file and possibly the -d option for debugging on the
Postmaster. I know I get the referential integrity check queries
showing up in the PostgreSQL log (syslog actually) on my server but I'm
not exactly sure what I did to cause that :-). Here's an example:
LOG: statement: SELECT 1 FROM ONLY "public"."audit_type" x WHERE
"audit_type_id" = $1 FOR UPDATE OF x
