Finding Queries that have been done on a DB

Hello all!
This is my first post!  I am interested in finding out what queries have
been made against a particular database in postgres. The version of Postgres
is 8.0 running on Mandrake 10.  The queries are made by client computers
over the network.  What steps must I take to accomplish such a task?  Is
this even at all a feasible goal?

Much Thanks!!!!

Yep it is.

If you set 'log_statement = all' in your postgresql.conf file and look
at the other params you'll get what you need.

That will log all statements to the db, not just to a particular database.

Though you could use 'log_line_prefix' to put in the database name and
then a grep of the log will get you what you want :)
