Folks,

I am running into a problem with the postmaster: from time to time, it
runs for a long time. E.g., from top:

23425 postgres  20   0 22008  10m  10m R 99.9  0.5  21:45.87 postmaster

I'd like to figure out what it is doing. How can I figure out what
statement causes the problem?
is there a way I can log all SQL statements to a file, together with the
time it took to execute them?

You can do one better: you can even explain the statements, based on the execution time. There is a module called auto explain:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/auto-explain.html

For the log files, you can parse them using pgfouine and quickly find out the most expensive SQL statements.
