Sean, I am looking to do the same thing... I have so far posted with little relevant response to pgsql-admin, pgsql-general and pgsql-sql If you get any help please forward my way... I will do the same.. What I can tell you is that it is possible to write the Select Statements submitted to the Postgres Log Files... The only way I can think of to accomplish our task would be to set Logging to ALL and then parse the Log Files into a Table... This is not an option I wish to pursue though it may work for you.
