I don't know of a way to enable logging for a specific database,
but you can enable logging for a specific user or session.  For
example, you could cause johndoe's statements to be logged by doing
one of the following:

ALTER USER johndoe SET log_statement TO TRUE;  -- 7.x
ALTER USER johndoe SET log_statement TO 'all'; -- 8.0

All new connections that johndoe makes will now have statement
logging enabled.

To enable logging for a particular session, execute the appropriate
"SET log_statement" statement in that session.  If you have permission
problems then you could wrap that operation in a function defined
as SECURITY DEFINER and create the function as a database superuser.
