Hi,

I'm writing our backup procedure for using WAL and PITR, but to be
able to do a (mostly) perfect PITR, I need to find the time when a
error (DELETE FROM, DROP TABLE, etc.) was made so that I can do a
restore just before the error.

Does PostgreSQL has something similar to "mysqlbinlog" so that I can
look at the content of a WAL archive ?  I tried enabling
"log_min_messages" at "info" level, but it doesn't log the date and
time of a executed statement, so that's not a solution.

pgsql 8.2.4 on RedHat Linux ES 4
