Where can I find sql statement log in postgresql? - sql

Question

my postgresql.conf has following content:
# -----------------------------
# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
# name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.) Whitespace may be used. Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line. The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload". Some
# parameters, which are marked below, require a server shutdown and restart to
# take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on". Some parameters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.

Where can I find file where I can see all sql statement which server was executed ?
If compare with default file I have changed following row:
#log_statement = 'all'
After it I restart my pc.

Answer 1

You left log_statement commented out, so it's still at its default.
In postgresql.conf, set:
log_statement = 'all'
(note the lack of the leading '#').
Then restart PostgreSQL. You don't have to restart the whole computer, just the PostgreSQL server. On Windows, that's a service managed by the Services control panel.
Then you need to check the PostgreSQL logs. Their location is dependent on how you installed PostgreSQL and your OS. On Windows they're in the pg_log directory inside your data directory, which you can find with SHOW data_directory; in psql or PgAdmin-III.
On Windows, look in %PROGRAMFILES%\PostgreSQL\9.3\data\pg_log (adjusting for your PostgreSQL version and where you installed PostgreSQL if you didn't use the defaults).

Answer 2

Just as a small addition to the accepted answer, this should at least be mentioned so that some can avoid searching and opening the postgresql.conf.
You can change the settings globally for every database by logging in as a superuser and then by running:
SET log_statement = 'all';
or (for transaction level)
SET LOCAL log_statement = 'all'
From a comment at: postgresql log queries single database
Mind that for the changes to work, the settings must already be uncommented in the postgresql.conf. Else, the settings will not change after the server restart. Therefore, you will have to change the config first by uncommenting
#log_statement = 'none'
to
log_statement = 'all'
and
#logging_collector = off
to
logging_collector = on
and
uncomment log_directory = ... and log_filename = ... as well.
From: How to log PostgreSQL queries?
But if the settings are already uncommented, you can use the postgres commands.
Side note: you can also make the log available for a chosen database by logging in as a superuser and then by running:
ALTER DATABASE your_database_name
SET log_statement = 'all';
